What Will It Take
Today I am adding my voice to many who are speaking up for the children being separated from their parents at our borders. I am appalled, grieved and angry. I know this is not the first time our nation has done this, but I pray that it will be the last. I pray that men and women in our government will take responsibility and quickly return these traumatized children to their parents. Children are being used as political pawns all over the world and they need us all to speak up for them. Today is not the time to be silent or sit and watch from the sidelines.
What will it take
For those harming
The little ones
The children
To awaken
To the gravity
Of their own plight?
You are being watched
Your actions are being noted.
Will it be a vision
Of a millstone
Necklace being
Crafted for you?
Or
Will it be a later cry
“Lord, when did I see
You as a child
Being torn
From your parents?
The answer,
“What you did
To the least of these
You did to Me.”
Speak up!
Lift your voices
All mothers
Fathers
Grandparents
Send your help,
Else who will listen
When someone comes
For your children
Or grandchildren?
