Little Ones

 

Donna Ashworth Words

LITTLE ONES

Little ones should be tucked

into their own safe beds at night

Little ones should be schooled

in love and peace, not how to fight

Little ones should be treasured

like the deepest oil-field

Little ones should be protected

behind a mighty human shield.

Little ones should not pay

for all the sins in years gone by

Little ones should not see

rockets coming from the sky

Little ones are the future

they will carry on the pain

Little ones shouldn’t suffer

like they are,

ever again.
