Oh my Lord
Please look on me,
For I too am your child.
Sweet Lord
Please tell me why
Others live but I must die.
My soul is without sin
For I am just a child.
Please Lord hear my silent prayer,
There's no more tears to cry,
The sand now fills my open mouth,
So hear my silent call.
The vulture stalks my faltering pass,
Is it he will live,
For I must die?
Soon I will fly like a bird
To your waiting arms,
And gently rocked in your love
My fears will fade away.
Oh my Lord
Please look on me
For I too am your child.

Thank you Playful Angel. This picture is something what people must remember for the life. It's always too painfull to see how life (better read - we - ) could be cruel. At the same time with all luxus all over the world many little souls must go this way. Each time I must to wipe my tears looking at this picture because this is not only this child destiny.

first of all thank you for entering my contest. this was a very touching write, which did justice to the image provided. thanks again and good luck

Thanks Mim. When I saw this picture for the first time I was scared of cruel reality and this verses came out like an answer of my feelings. It's always hard to see hungry kids starving while the others can't decide about their favorite flakes box color.

This was so touching, i felt it really complemented the picture. You made me think about the vulture, about how out of the childs death the vulture lives, it's a very interesting though, great poem,

Heartfelt poetry, Sonja...yes I think that little child in the picture was indeed calling out to God...saying her little prayer. That picture just rips at my heart, brought me to my knees too. This poem shows your compassion and your caring and each prayer will make a difference in the lives of suffering children. Beautiful in its sadness, my friend...!

Yes, I know. your hear is beating the same song as mine.

I was scared with this picture. I saw many pictures before, but this was was something what makes me to think how people mostly do not care, and it's all about numbers. Each one is only a number. Some will say - So what?
We know to count. One more or les, so what? But we still do not know to devide, and to share.

SINCERELY AND DEEPLY HEARTFELT
You write with such emotion! Your heart shines so bright with each and every word. -
Thank you Behah for such a nice comment. The main problem is the lack of my language knoledge. It would be nice to meet you too. In my country I am published author, but still have a problem to find publisher, not because of my work quality, it's all because money.
