Children all Around the World


As I wake up in the morning to brush my teeth,
thinking nothing of it,
many children are waking up around the world,
not even knowing what a toothbrush is

as I go downstairs to eat my breakfast,
freshly made and warm,
children all over the world wake up hungry, 
but will find nothing to satisfy their needs

as I eat my food, not thinking of much,
maybe talking to family or watching TV,
children all over the world feel deprived,
they are begging for a small bowl of rice to eat

as I get out of the car at school, 
I tell my mother goodbye, 
but children all over the world, 
having no school to grow and learn from,
walk to the farms, where they produce the food,
they will never get to eat

as I donate a dollar to a good cause,
to try and help the hungry children,
all over the world, 
the children all over the world are grateful,
but they know it will never be enough,

for they go to sleep hungry that night.
