Because of a Child

As she walked onto the sidewalk
she saw hundreds all around,
They were all crying out
as many fell to the ground.

As she walked along
she became nervous,
Then was ushered on
an an escort service>

There at the door
stood a five year old child,
All sweet and pretty
but never showed a smiles.

The little girl loked up
with her bright blue eyes,
A tear rolled down her face
as she started to cry.

"Ma'am, why are you doing this?
I don't understand!"
The lady stopped and looked down
as the child took her hand.

The cry of the child
really touched her heart,
As she decieded to stand with others
and play a great part.

Because of a five year old
child that day,
My mommy didn't kill me
and now I run and play
