The way we love affects every aspect of our life including our community . " The cry of our children" is a collection of poems based on social issues.   It gives tribute to some who lost their life in tragic circumstances and to inspire hope in those left behind.  There is an old adage that says charity begins at home? If we can't love and treat the ones we are responsible for well, how could we anyone else?   "The Cry of our children" provokes thoughts starting with its opening poem: Personal Significance.   My neighbor’s burden, Why is that of significance?

For even when strong, any can be torn down. buy my book of lyrics and poems here
