Ann expresses what I am sure is most of our hearts today...
and we pour out our hearts in prayers and tears!
and we pour out our hearts in prayers and tears!
Dear Aylan,
Ignored in your life,
All down the streets of gold
Laugh at the feet of Jesus
Where you will never grow old
Oh, let your laughter sparkle
Oh, let your brown eyes dance
Oh, let your chin tilt up as God
Wipes your tears with His hands
Laugh, little Aylan, laugh
Let heaven's sheer, pure joy
Heal each sob of horror and hunger
Fear and sorrow, little boy
Sit at the banquet table
Run over celestial hills
Play forever with your brother
Where no teardrop spills
Laugh, little Aylan, laugh
For you will weep no more
Safe in the arms of Jesus
Far from death's cold, friendless shore
Now you are loved like we should have
...We stare at a photograph
Shouldering sorrow, guilt and shame
Laugh, little Aylan, laugh
Janet Martin
In memory of every little child who never knew laughter...
How can we look at our children and not want to help the hundreds of thousands of those still among us like Aylan?!
Heartbreaking . Thanks for this reminder to always reach out.
