The Forgotten Children
Location
Hidden away
Scattered amongst the city
Are kids that yearn for parents
Pupils that yearn for a teacher
As they fantasize about school
Some of them yearn for comfort
The basic need of all survival
The feeling of being in safe hands
Along with love and friends
In the backs of hospitals
Are babies waiting for a mother
To rock them to sleep
And calm them when they cry
There are adolescents on the streets,
Yearning for someone
Someone to love, to love them
Permanently, for good
These children are set in horrible boundaries
Away from comfort
In the dread and thirst
For something better for them
They dream from sunup to sundown
Dreaming of mothers, fathers
Homes, warmth, you name it
Yet, until they get their utmost wish
They'll keep yearning
Until someone steps in;
Would you be the first to try the odds
Of making a person's life bountiful or not?
