Haunted by the videos and the pictures of the abducted children, their hopeful smiles, their confusion and the hateful fighting, lies, and everything but a joyful reunion with their fathers, I tried to put it into words. Wish I could write a song but I have no talent for that. This is a poem for all the abducted children.
Just look at that face, that smile. All the hope, all the love, My heart is breaking. You are my son, my daughter, my world.
Just look at that face. Filled with hope, filled with grace. How can you understand, Just look at that beautiful face.
You run to me, but I cannot take you back. My heart is breaking. You are my son, my daughter, my world.
How can you understand the hate, the angry words, the cruel fate of a child and a parent, denied by hate, to hug, to play, to be together, because of the hate,
My son, my daughter, my world.
