The Fatherless

So many children all over the earth are devoid of family,

love and wealth.

Scratching a living in whatever way they can,

no home, no food and a short life span.

Abused, hunted, considered as pests

unable to find a place where to rest.

They did not ask to be born and from love they've been torn.

Greed, injustice, poverty and worse have provided an empty void

a lack of parents to provide

the environment needed for children to survive.

Their heavenly father knows of their plight

and seeks those who will set their sight

on caring and securing the children's needs

providing safety where no evil breeds.
