"Be fruitful and multiply,
and replenish the Earth": (Gen 9:1 KJV)
Man obliged, of course,
with over zealous mirth;
and now we're in Trouble
down here on Earth.
"Let There Be Parents", Lord,
not Lights, or Clean Air;
we've got millions of orphans
and no Parents to spare.
No mother to teach them
"thank you" and "please",
or to wipe away tears
when they scrape their knees.
No parent to hold them
or hug them tight;
when they are frightened
by the bombs at night.
No parent to teach them
right from wrong;
or to feed them spinach
to make them strong.
No parent to tell them
that Jesus cares,
or how much God loves them
and to say their prayers.
No parent to show them
how to fly a kite,
how to build a treehouse,
or have a snowball fight.
Yes, God in His wisdom
knew the value and worth,
of giving us parents
down here on Earth.
But frightening fears
haunt orphaned eyes,
but no parent comes running
to silence their cries.
It's our fault, Lord
What else can I say?
We've goofed up again
all we can do is pray!
Jesus wept...and now so do I.
