A child cries

Once a fighter entering this world ready to make her presence known.

A child cries

You look for arms to hold you and keep you safe, a parent’s trust soon blown.

A child cries

Growing up in a world so new

A child cries

Receiving the touch of a stranger that’s bad, a mom’s denial makes the child sad

A child cries

Innocence lost no future or hope now makes the life of the adult hard to cope

A child dies

A life of a woman who knows no trust, looks for love, trust and safety wherever she can.

A woman cries.

Finding a man whose eye will be blue she’ll know when she sees him their love will be true.

A woman hopes

For now alone and sad, a woman only copes.
