Ραφαέλλα Μαραγκού

Within a darkened quiet house,
tucked in a lonely bed.
Upon a dirty pillowcase, there lies
a tiny head.
A precious face that knows no love,
in tattered rags she’s sleeping
While high above, the angels
watching her are weeping

This world with all its troubles,
the woes we can’t disguise
Has one thatgrieves my very soul,
the pain in a child’s eyes.
So trusting with their innocence as
they try to make their way.
Through all the problems little
ones have got to face each day.

So trusting to my warning, ’tis
wisdom that you lack.
Each day you show no love is lost;
you cannot get them back.
You’ve been entrusted from above,
you’ll answer for your deeds.
Take time to show you love them,
fulfill your child’s needs.

Little eyes that stare so blankly
filled with loneliness
Caused by lack of loving care…
parental heartlessness
Longing for one gentle touch a tiny
hint of praise
But nothing comes to ease the pain
you won’t just change your ways.

Or stand one day condemned you
must, no way you can explain
Of why these gifts from God
were treated cruelly with disdain.
While high above in heaven, the
angels start to weep.
Fpr little ones throutout the
world, who cyr themselves to
sleep.

Please listen to my warning, ’tis
wisdom that you lack.
Each day you show no love is lost;
you cannot get them back.
You’ve been entrusted from above,
you’ll answer for your deeds.
Take time to show you love them,
fulfill your child’s needs.
