Rosie

Something is wrong with Rosie;
She won't come out of her room.
And her teacher called today saying
She's not socializing or following the rules.

 I am Rosie, I don't know what's wrong.
I know my teacher called Mommy on her cell phone.
I hear and see things on television that I don't understand.
I ask questions about the things I see,
But no-one wants to explain to a kid like me.

I see people running up and down the streets screaming and yelling,
Even small children and babies.
I'm scared and I feel so alone,
I stay in my room afraid of losing my home.
 I hear Mommy and Daddy praying every night,
asking Jesus what can they do
To change the world and make it right.
 I shut my bedroom door quietly and I kneel by my bed and pray.
I ask Jesus if there is anything I could do to make our world a better place.

 I hear Rosie praying in her room. She's crying and said that she's scared and confused.
I think it’s time that we talk to her and share with her what's being said on the news.

 Mommy and Daddy said they were sorry and they would try to help me understand
how this world got into the horrible shape that it's in.

 They said sometimes they don't know how to pray about the war that’s going on today, but they do know that Jesus is in Control and that he will never forget about us or go away.

 They told me what I hear on TV and the internet was not all true
but the word of God said that he will never leave me or you.
