A Child`s Cry Poem by Xelam Kan™

A Child`s Cry

Rating: 4.8


Could my words
be rooted in your hearts and
host my woes and screams?
Oh sweep off
these nightmares
andd bring me
dreams lovely and fair.
Ah! late in the night,
when the world gets quiet,
and the distant stars
take on the darkness
with meek and feeble light,
Then i pray:
O lord of the heaven and earth,
Why have I been fretted since birth?
Could I be secured
from the life obscured?
I am a flower, distant to bloom,
I am a child,
save me from doom.

Had to read it a couple of times, its very potent to these times, where its expected of children to grow up to soon, we forget the suffering of others, this is a sad reminder, especially like the second stanza, we need the prayers of all men to listen and work together for solutions.

Nice and beautiful, yes the things are serious matter...but to dear God, dont we have to giving up for a lil to Him. And if we are even a human take an action when we need to do, and protect children when they need....because it always stronger to protect weaker, not stronger to suppress weaker...because in future we will be weaker and they are stronger...but with love ties to all that will make a weaker become stronger_Soul

Dear Gulsher, your words are totally true. this life is somehow wild to lots of children. but we can make a change. we can make great and perfect changes by our words. well done. you act as the humanity needs.
