Dear Congress, (17) - Dispatch

No hands to warm, no bedtime story, no lullaby, no little steps in the middle

of the night

And the nation’s numb, is this what our forefathers had in mind

What is happening in Washington

It’s not enough

Your thoughts and prayers

You send your love, you say you care

But you are not my baby

Oh but my heart has died, standing alone in an empty room, except for my child

but She’s not really there

And the people have gone, and I want to pick her up and take her home

I can’t bear to leave her here

It’s not enough

Your thoughts and prayers

You send your love, you say you care

But you are not my baby

Oh bless the child, oh rest their souls, I bet those law makers don’t know

This feeling that…

It’s not enough

Your thoughts and prayers

You send your love, you say you care

But you are not my baby

Can you do something

So that there’s not more gone babies
