It streams into A bottomless well That rolls down to hell With the tears of the Weeping widows.

We formed an impromptu circle just so we could look at each other and memorize faces. We hardly noticed the waiting officials.

If every Christian family in the United States would simply commit to pray and ask God if HE wants to use them to bless a child without a family, well, we'd change the world.
