Imagine the Hunger

Imagine the hunger
Of a child so longing
For a pinch of pepper
Or a smidgen of salt

Imagine the hunger
Of a child so longing
For a hug from strong arms
Or a kiss of soft lips

Imagine the hunger
Of a child so longing
For a heart of a parent
With much love to give

Imagine the hunger
Of a child so longing
For a family to love them
With all of their heart

Imagine the hunger
Of a child so longing
For a missionary to save them
From the days of such starving
