Small Love Where Is It Today

Being raised as a child love began small
in a home with eight children we always got enough small love after-all,
Taught to share and learn respect love was in the lead,
and I ask you today why is the small love today not seen.

The love taught when we are children today they have tears,
from years of neglect and such abuse today I hear.
What has happened to this nation so deaf we have become,
for the children have been forgotten not receiving the smallest of love.

I cry for this world so blind at what we do,
and the children all around us lost without a muse.
So much knowledge yet so little for the child such little love,
tell me, do you think we the adults have we done enough.

Oh we boast about the laws the rules yet follow not one ,
we neglect our children and for this day we are in such a rush.
Ignoring the simple touch and understanding we have left them behind,
Through the push and pull and the addictions in our time.

With out this small love passed along what will they do,
Pushed so young and left with strangers and they lose.
Having no family values and little time to play,
leaves our young without the joys of being that child I pray .

God I am here on bended knee,
help our world stop and look and feel the need.
Stop this insanity from the drugs and help them know,
what we teach our young comes back to us ten fold .

To start their life even with the smallest love ,
then every day let it grow is more than enough.
For as they grow and learn this love they shall pass on,
and in this small seed given this love shall be known.

Some children fall to sleep hungry and eyes filled with tears,
some are so beaten and the whole world so deaf never hears.
Some this can be seen through small sad eyes,
you look and never see just walk on by.

Please stop today and look at the sadness we have bestowed ,
see the eyes of our children and lets bring that love back home.
For without it I'm afraid we all shall be witness to our demise ,
Guilty for the tears in our children's eyes .
