Down



Down is an understatement, when you feel the way I do today
I feel the pain of all, along with my own which now seems trite
The motherless child, the father not allowed in the child�s life
Make my broken heart break a little more in a different way

I feel for the man with the sign, �will work for food�
He too has a story, a mother, and memories sure of a better life
Possibly a broken heart, a child not able to see, or a disgruntled wife
For him too, this heart bleeds, sets me in a more than down mood

For the baby left in abandonment, on a cold nights doorstep
I feel the pain of all concerned, makes me know how much I�m blessed
For these tragedies are ongoing existent always, some would never have guessed
So many more have pain much greater than I you see many mothers have silently wept

All I can offer for the ones in turmoil and in a bad way
Are my prayers to God that the pain and tragedy will cease to be
All I can offer, is to ask that he touch their life as he has touched me
And I know he hears all prayers, each and every one, have faith in his grace, and is all that I unto you �can say
