For Every Child.

by Teria   Nov 14, 2006


For every child that has been beaten.
For every child that was once lost.
For every child who's had to hide.
For every child who's paid the cost.

For every child that felt unknown.
For every child that had fears inside.
For every child that had broken dreams.
For every child left with arms open wide.

For every child that has forgave and forgotten.
For every child who has been taken advantage of.
For every child who's been so depressed.
For every child who thought they were unloved.

For every child that has shed too many tears.
For every child that has been starved to nearly death.
For every child that was lost in this world.
Give thanks for what is left.

    I liked it but the repetition was not needed. It gets old after a while and made me not want to finish the poem. But I did and I liked everything about the poem except for the repetition. Keep up the great work. I still gave this poem a 5/5. =)

    Again, just fantastic! The ending was memorable in particular, because it really stood out, but not enough to seem out of place. Emotional, and yet straightforward. 'T'was an awesome poem!

    I thought you did a really good job on this... i especially liked how it started as 'for every child...', and then ended with that line. there was only one thing i could find that seemed a little out of place: shouldnt 'forgave' be 'forgiven'? or if you take out the 'has' then to change it to 'forgave and forgot' ? just a suggestion. overall 5/5 good work!
