Premium Member Children of War

A little child cries in the night
Hope still a small flame inside
Longing for arms to hold her tight
Only hunger and fear abide

Hope still a small flame inside
Tears her only form of release
Only hunger and fear abide
Wanting the horror to cease

Tears her only form of release
Unable to understand  civil war
Wanting the horror to cease
Always afraid of an opening door

Unable to understand civil war
Her family dead in some grave
Always afraid of an opening door
No longer the will to be brave

Her family dead in some grave
Longing for arms to hold her tight
No longer the will to be brave
A little child cries in the night


Written for all the children who are victims of civil war
