LEFT ALONE
For the baby found age about 20 minutes in Nathan Phillips Sq, Toronto
I came from heaven’s glory up above,
Filled with God’s never failing love,
After birth, left on ice cold ground,
No warmth or love was there found.
Where’s my loving family down here?
I can still feel that heaven is very near,
Mommy mine, can’t you hear me cry
Or are you too sick, will we both die?
I have come to earth to grow and to learn,
But for love my beating heart does yearn,
Someone to understand my inside pain,
I want to feel God’s sweet love again.
A pair of arms to hold me, see smiling eyes,
Be called some ones precious sweet prize,
Wear pretty dresses any old colour will do,
Please someone special, let me come to you.
Thank you mom for the phone call to save me,
Or I maybe now lying in a stone cold mortuary,
The ones that hold me love me that I know,
But dear mother who bore me where did you go?
My new parents need not be rich with fancy things,
As long as love and harmony into my life they bring.
Some one just love me, for I am God’s lost child
I promise I’ll do my best to be always meek and mild.
Someone else care for mommy she must be sick you see,
Or why else would she not want to take good care of me.
I want to be happy, I want to grow up to be good and kind,
Please someone hear me and even for me true love find.
