learn to do good
seek justice
help the oppressed
defend the cause of orphans
fight for the rights of widows
Isaiah 1:17
souls grown old
in bodies so young
hunger
abuse
neglect
fear
simply all they know
their
tears
fall
like
rain
each soul a story
each story a life
each life created by His hand
made in His image
eyes gaze upward
heart shattered
babies die
children sold only to be
used
abused
discarded
mother's grief
our grief
answers seemingly simple
food
shelter
protection
love
light
hope
His tears fall like rain
often we are consumed with
life as we know it
so easy to forget
another world exists
and I am the most guilty
do my tears fall like rain
does my heart shatter
into thousands of pieces
for the orphan
for the widow
for the abused
misused
treated as
nothing
Abba forgive my complacency
give me courage
give me compassion
use even me
