It breaks my heart to think
That so many kids are in homes
Rarely have someone to love
No one visits, no one phones
Some are too small to talk
Unable to use their voice
It pains me thinking of them
Too little to have a choice
For whatever reason they are there
They deserve to have a good life
Be loved as a child should be
Anything less just isn't right
Worldwide these little souls
Wait within these homes
Hoping to be chosen by a family
So their life won't be one alone
The lucky ones will be chosen
Be in a family full of love and hope
But what of those not picked?
My feelings for them I find hard to cope
Every child should be given a chance
To feel wanted, needed and more
But life is just not like that
Too many are abandoned and ignored
What will that little child be like?
When they become a woman or a man
I hope they find some happiness
Finding love now they can
