Analysis of Silent Cries Unheard in the Night
SILENT CRIES GONE UNHEARD IN THE NIGHT
CHILD ALONE.. ALONE IN HIS PLIGHT
SADLY TOLD : HE DIDN’T SUFFER OR FEEL
BUT I KNOW MY SON
HE’D FIGHT TO REMAIN HERE
AS LONG AS HE BREATHED
SILENT CRIES GONE UNHEARD IN THE NIGHT
CHILD ALONE … ALONE IN HIS PLIGHT
CHILD ALONE.. TOO FAR TO RUN HOME
CRIES OUT “PLEASE HELP ME””
BUT HELP NEVER CAME
SILENT CRIES
