LITTLE GIRL, DON’T CRY
Little girl don’t cry, little girl don’t cry
They have all deserted me you say
All hope is lost; all matters are worse
But girl, you look to the sky and still find the sun as company
Don’t cry…
**************
Little girl don’t cry, little girl don’t cry
There are just crumbs of bread and few grains left you say
No strength in my bones and no milk in my belly
But girl, your nostrils are open and God’s air always available
Don’t cry…
***
Little girl don’t cry little girl don’t cry
Life is so cruel it took my eyes from me you say
No eye to see, no future for me
But girl, they didn’t take your mind along
The eyes of the mind see deeper than those on the face
Don’t cry…
***
Dearest little girl,
If friends desert you, if your belly is empty
Even if your eyes are blind, don’t cry…
Look for the sun, find God’s air, treasure your mind
There’s more worth in what you have than in what you’ve lost.
Please don’t cry
