Somewhere Tonight

A little boy will go to bed hungry

Another will die because he has no clean water




A little girl will lose her mother to AIDS

Another will be lost herself to the sex slave trade

A little boy will watch his father hit his mother

Another will feel the wrath of his father’s anger against his body

A little girl will wonder if she will ever have a family

Another will lie hopeless in her bed, alone and afraid

What will you do tonight? What will I do?

“A father to the fatherless, a defender of the widows is God in his holy dwelling. God sets the lonely in families, he leads forth the prisoners with singing.”
