A Child With No Home

“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
