“CRY OF A CHILD”
Can You Hear the Cry of Your Child
While in The Pen and Living So Foul?
Not Being the Father You’re Supposed to Be
Is It Because Of You Not Being So Free?
Can You Hear the Cry of Your Child,
And Can You See the Tears in Their Eyes?
Needing Your Love and Shoulder to Lean On,
But What Are You Doing to Hurry Back Home?
Can You Hear the Cry of Your Child,
While Your Absence Has Removed Their Smile?
With So Much Sorrow and So Much Needless Pain,
Wondering Will Your Ways Ever Change?
Can You Hear the Cry of Your Child,
Although, You’re Separated by So Many Miles?
While You’re Doing the Most and Chasing Drugs,
And We’re at Home Missing You and Your Love!
Can You Hear the Cry of Your Child
As You’re Given into The Devil’s Wiles?
Will You Ever Wipe the Tears from Our Eyes,
Or Can You Even Hear the Cry of Your Child?

Beautifully written. It’s like he reached into my heart! Donna Barton
Thank you for taking the time to read this, and respond, it will mean a lot to Stephen, and be a great encouragement to continue his bible studies.
I almost teared up reading this poem thinking about all the children missing their daddies. I pray that Stephen can get clean and can return to his family a new man.
Well done, Stephen. The heart really comes through in those words.
