When Children Die

There is no balm that soothes the soul

When children die

And storms of teardrops take their toll

till dust you cry

The emptiness you feel inside

Is one unending bitter ride

And you become depression's bride

when children die

There is no place your mind finds peace

When children die

And heartache signs a long term lease

while angels sigh

The sadness comes in bitter waves

to make of you despondent's slaves

And nothing soothes and nothing saves

When children die
