In A World of Darkness

I stare up at the black sky
Hoping to see just one star,
Just one twinkle of light in a panorama of darkness,
Just one small reminder of what I miss so dearly.

Studying the hopeless sky,
Praying to the heavens
To show a glimmer truth,
To show a spark of hope.

I cry out for proof of good
For the world has turned evil;
I call out for peace and joy,
But most of all, I cry out for love.

I weep as the sky remains starless,
The world remains heartless.
We don't notice that we live in darkness;
We continue to harm each other.

And these tears stain my cheeks
For the sky is too great to change for one small girl
The world is too stubborn to listen to one hurting child
We'll all act the same until we get what they we really need:
LOVE




I know that I have posted this poem before, but I made these revisions to it and entered it in a contest and it's going to be published in a book! So I had to repost it with the revisions and the good news.
