Who Cares?

© 1991 by Mari Isaacson

Who cares about the child who was never allowed to see the sky;
the child who, so young, was never meant to die.
Who cares about the child who is undeniably all alone;
the child with no family, no friends, no home to call his own.

Who cares about the child whose talents are forever unknown;
the child with disease and handicap, abandoned to an overcrowded home.

Who cares about the child who is cruel and filled with bitterness;
the child who knows no other example but such a life of self-centeredness.

Who cares about the child who has so many possessions he doesn’t need;
the child whose parents have no affection to take seed.

Who cares about the child who faces horrors too young to comprehend;
the child, who forcibly loses his innocence before the age of ten.

Who cares about the child who thinks he knows it all;
the child who attends church and clubs but short of salvation does fall.

God cares about the child, He bids each one come;
for him, He gave the greatest gift; the sending of His Son.

Jesus loves the child, cared enough to die,
so he could be forgiven and someday live with Him on high.

Do you care for such as these, enough to do your part?
You may be the only beacon in the storm, to a lost or searching heart!
