“A Child With No Home”
(T Entrican 7-15-22)
I saw him one day he was wasting away
Trying hard to stay out of the cold
A look of despair and nowhere to stay
And so many times bought and sold
What has gone wrong for someone so young?
Oh who could have left him alone?
What sort of sins to him could belong?
That would make him a child with no home
Maybe something about him his dad did not like
Did his poor mother just pass away?
What is wrong with a world that loses sight?
That allows a young child to decay
Does not anyone see who preys on this one?
This once innocent who now roams
As he waits for the day when he dies too young
In oppression this child with no home
Forever he bears the scars as they grow
No loved one to take him inside
They all stare at the ground because they know
All the dangers they have to survive
Be it he or she no difference is found
For suffering is all they can hold
No tears we cry when they are laid down
Lord please help that child with no home
