For every child who cries at night
Alone with shame and pain and fright
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/his 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

May the road always greet you,
May the wind always be at your back,
May the sun shine softly on your face,
May the rains fall gently on your fields,
And Until we meet again may the Lord
hold you in the palm of his hand.
This really bothered him and
he questioned the Lord about it.
"Lord, you said that once
I decided to follow you,
you'd walk with me all the way.
But I have noticed that during
the most troublesome times
in my life, there is only
one set of footprints.
I don't understand why when I
needed you most you would leave me.
The Lord replied, " My son,
My precious child,
I love you and I would
never leave you.
During your times of trial
and suffering, when you only
see one set of footprints,
it was then that I carried you."
