For every child who wants so much
To only feel a gentle touch


For the beaten child, who cries in pain
Whose tears run silent, like the rain


For the child used to satisfy lust
Who never learns to love or trust


For the child taken from her home
And made to feel so all alone


For the child whose home is just a shell
Where life becomes a living hell


For the child who smiles but cannot feel
Because of scars too deep to heal


For every child who yearns for love
I hope and pray to God above
To hear your cries and heal your pain
And give you back your life again


With love, to all the children
Kathy Williams
1964-1996
