The Unseen Children

The little boy with vacant stare;

The little girl who walks nowhere;

The child who's born with enlarged head;

The one who's confined to his bed.

These are the children no one sees;

They bring their parents to their knees;

To ask for strength from up above,

To help their children and give him love.

For each step will bring elation,

A smiles cause for celebration.

To learn to drink, to learn to eat,

For these kids is an awesome feat.

The parents

wish they'd run and play,

But they'll just take life day by day.

These kids were sent from up above,

To live on earth and give us love.
