Open Your Heart

by John Dlyan Boone BABY   Feb 2, 2012


Such sorrow in Africa
children starving without food
belly's swelling up in pain
help the family's give the kids a future
give a penny quarter dollar anything
do what you can for this sadness
their people just like me and you
they feel the same pains we do
they know what it means for a piece of grain
everyday for them its a struggle to live
give a penny for they need it so
truly help another soul
give what you can for a hungry soul
don't allow the children to die
give them faith give them hope
give them the power to know their not alone
come with me and be the savior
for a nation whose lost all hope.

    What can I say it's beatiful I loved it.
    Thought it's sad to see children in so much need.

    Such a sad starting.
    Kids in Africa starving without food.
    I love the message this brings to the readers. Knowing people are suffering from hunger in Africa,bellys swelling from pain. Knowing that a quarter dollar can feed an innocent child.

    Such a powerful poem that says a lot.

    give a penny for they need it so
    truly help another soul
    give what you can for a hungry soul
    don't allow the children to die
    give them faith give them hope
    give them the power to know their not alone
    come with me and be the savior
    for a nation whose lost all hope

    Second stanza.
    Knowing a penny can do a lot for a child in Africa that's suffering from hunger. I loved how you gave the message in this stanza to help a soul in need and not let them die, give them faith and hope, let them know there not alone.

    I loved how you ended it
    By saying come with be and we'll save the souls for a nation in need.

    So sad.
    The flow was amazing.
    But if you had separated the poem and made it into stanzas it would have been perfect!

    But still it's a really good poem
    With a good message..

    5/5 well done!
