Think, while you're here at your computer,
About the children everywhere who are starving,
Alone,
Cold,
Homeless.

Nobody to love them,
To hug them,
to hold them.
They need our help.
Homeless.

A child who is terrified,
A child who begs.
Just another face in the shadows,
Homeless.

They need an escape,
A way to be free.
Free from the alleyways,
Loved.

There's a city ear us where you see this a lot. It's just so terrible and heartbreaking.
