To Fight the Fight

Steve Cochrane 1955 (Cape)

Rhymed
It does not take too long to break
The spirit of a child.
There's only so much he can take
When on him fear is piled.

The damages begin the day
That love is never seen.
Some parents see kids in their way.
Such apathy is mean.

Pray for the child who has no one
To kiss and hold them tight.
No child should feel he has been shunned!
Ask God to fight the fight.
