God's Special children (at the Family Centre) by Nora Levang

The world of today is full of despair
Troubles abound and life isn’t fair
Aids is claiming so many lives
As men succumb, and so do their wives
In care of their grannies the children are left
But they also die, and leave families bereft

Yet out of the darkness, there’s always hope
For those who are struggling ~ unable to cope
Those with compassion who really do care
Say, But for the grace of God, I could be there
A vision was born in the heart of man
Placed there by God for it was His plan
The plight of these orphans were no fault of their own
Why should they then have to struggle alone?

Children must learn and with schoolwork continue
Thus for their siblings was found a good venue
Where they with others could interact and play
Giving peace of mind to the families each day
Well cared for, well fed and protected from danger
Away from exposure to ill intended strangers

At close of school day the brothers and sisters
Afforded they were with homework, assistance
Then with nutritious meal each is fed
Can go with full tummies home to their beds

This service of care is extremely vital
For surely to best care these kids are entitled
To build up their self~worth and offer them hope
To face the future and with challenges cope
These little orphans belong to God
Have a place deep inside His father~heart
This service of love was by Him begun
May it continue! May His will be done!
