[hometext] => I have volunteered for many years as a CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocate), a voice for abused and neglected children in the juvenile court system. This poem comes from that experience.
[bodytext] => Who will be the voice for a child? A child who is broken and abused, Then thrown away once he is used Like an unwanted piece of trash. Who will be the voice for a child? A child who is hurting and in pain, And doesn’t even know his name Because he’s been called so many. Who will be the voice for a child? A child whose pillow is soaked with tears, Because he is haunted by fears That are too numerous to count Who will be the voice for a child? A child who sadly knows how it feels, To go without eating meals For several days at a time. Who will be the voice for a child? A child who is so scared and alone, With no place to call his home Because no one wants him in theirs. Who will be the voice for a child? A child, who except for God’s grace, Could possibly be wearing your face And you would then feel his pain. Will you be that voice?

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
