A Cry to Heaven

Heaven, please let the children dance again;

Let the hearts of tearful widows mend;

Restore breath to the lifeless and joy to the broken;

Let victims release their pain, through utterances of the once unspoken;

Let the deeply wounded begin their healing;

Let the numb immerse themselves in wonderful feelings;

Let the unloved find love through kisses and intimate gestures;

Let the motherless children of deceased mothers
hold them once again — and hear their whispers.
