All I need is a good cry,
A long sigh,
A reason why.
Then I can find
some peace of mind.
The strength to stand.
The strength to smile.
Please take my hand,
And help this child.
Your child.

Sorry i should've clarified that on the side. "Your child" is referring to "God's child". thanks for the comment!

John 3:16<br /> For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only son so whoever believes in hill will not die but have eternal life.<br /> <br /> Dreams are what make us who we are, a life without dreams is like a life without air.

I really liked this poem! However, you lost me a bit at the end. Your child? I'm not sure who you're audience is anymore, but I love the random rhyming.
