'The Lost Children...'

Since so many days…
I’d been thinking to do a Forum for Children…
& I decided to do that for Orphans…
But don’t know why I feel empty when I try to write for Orphans…

Well… then I decided to quote a song…
A song from ‘Michael Jackson…’
Cuz he did alot for Orphans…
There’s a song in which Children helped Michael in singing too… :)
This is the song from his album… ‘Invincible…’ (2001…)
The song is… ‘THE LOST CHILDREN…’

‘We pray for our fathers…
pray for our mothers…
Wishing our families well…

We sing songs for the wishing…
of those who are kissing…
But not for the missing…

So this one’s for all ‘The Lost Children…’







This one’s for all ‘The Lost Children…’







This one’s for all ‘The Lost Children…’







wishing them well…







& wishing them home…






When you sit there addressing…
counting your blessings…
Biding your time…

When you lay me down sleeping…
and my heart is weeping…
Because I’m keeping…

a place…

For all ‘The Lost Children…’







This is for all ‘The Lost Children…’







This one’s for all ‘The Lost Children…’







wishing them well…







& wishing them home…







...          ...          ...




Home with their fathers…







Snug close and warm…
loving their mothers…







I see the door simply wide open…
But no one can find thee…







SO PRAY FOR ALL ‘THE LOST CHILDREN…’







LET’S PRAY FOR ALL ‘THE LOST CHILDREN…’







JUST THINK OF ALL ‘THE LOST CHILDREN…’







WISHING THEM WELL






& WISHING THEM HOME…’






These are Those…
Who can’t find their ‘Identity…’







These are Those…
Who die before getting ‘Birth…’







These are Those…
Who are slave of ‘Pain…’







These are Those…
Who came to be ‘Lost…’







These are Those…
Who are ‘Rich in Tears…’







These are Those…
Who are ‘Poor in Smiles…’







These are Those…
Whose lives are worse than ‘Death…’







These are Those…
Who are called as…



‘THE LOST CHILDREN…’







‘THE ORPHANS…’







...          ...          ...







...          ...          ...

thanks Rockyy01 for this topic , but i don’t agree with you that orpahns are lost children , losing parents is not a reason to lose achild .


poverty, the laws in the country and people around the child all of this are the reasons of the tragedy life .



parents are so important , only them can give their child the sympathy and the best life , but not all parents in the world could give thier children happy life .


in the sametime not all orphans are lost , some of them have found good environment for good living , so they are become better from other childrens whose have parents .


it’s relative issue ,related with luck , the country they are living and the poeple around them .


at least they need love this is what can every body give to them .

My Dear Talk Now… :)
Thanx for even disagreeing… :)
But it seems that you took Lost Children as children on streets or Missing Children…
But I meant The Orphans… who lost their Childhood…
whether they’re in Orphanages…
THEY HAVE LOST THEIR FAMILY LIVES
& those who have a family life… can never understand the pain of Orphans…

(According to me…)
All Orphans are the lost children…
Cuz of those precious relations & things that they have lost…

When Parents ‘SNATCH…’ their names from their Children’s names…

They have the loss of their Identity…

When they’re thrown in Orphanages…
they have the loss of their Joyful Childhood…

Poverty doesn’t mean that we should leave our kids in the cradle of Orphange…

There’s also a thing that exists & called as ‘FAMILY PLANNING…’

IF WE CAN’T AFFORD THEMTHEN WHY DO WE GIVE THEM BIRTH?

It’s just like increasing our own problems…
with putting the heavy burden of a possibly cruel life to soft shoulders…

Like if I earn 5000 per month & I can hardly feed my family…
then is it a wise step to have more & more kids…?
If I could do well… then it’s alright…
but what if I couldn’t…???

I can think NOW… but if I don’t think & leter I leave my kids in Orphanage…
then that’s totally my mistake…
& i’m responsibile for the whole cruel life of my kids…

Well… anyways…
Thanx for your comment… :)
Take Care…
Stay Blessed… :)

hi rocky , i like your explanation as much as it’s so important .


(The approximate number of orphans world wide is estimated at around 160 million. This staggering number is an estimate based upon known orphans and calculations from organizations with feet on the ground. 



there are Thousands are Orphaned Each Day , Some estimates put this number at 42,000 per day. According to UNICEF statistics, the rate of new orphan children in Asia and some other regions is falling, while in Sub Saharan Africa it is increasing primarily due to AIDS. If the above figure is accurate, 1750 children are orphaned every day, 29 per minute and nearly 1 every 2 seconds.



War, disease, poverty, natural disasters, abandonment, and accidents are among some of the leading causes. 


cultural pressures, neglect, abuse, child slavery, religious inequality, child prostitution, indentured servitude and more. These are more closely associated with children without parental care that may not be a child that has lost one or more parents. They may live with a relative or neighbor or are on the street or in the jungles and subjected to one of the afore mentioned abuses. Sometimes they simply live with a blind, ill or very old relative that loves, but cannot care for them. 



No human is ever born with a guarantee of a happy, healthy life. However, there are a great many children who are born into loving homes in which they will have the chance that every child deserves. so we must understand our inherent responsibility to care for children and protect the future for our own children, If we don’t, it will be the pimps, slave traders, ill-willed relatives, thieves, gangsters, warlords and terrorists that do…)

god ask about helping orphans too , orphans need help from the people around , god like people who are helping orphans , because they are really need it .



“Worship Allaah and join none with Him (in worship); and do good to parents, kinsfolk, orphans, the poor , the neighbour who is near of kin, the neighbour who is a stranger, the companion by your side, the wayfarer (you meet), and those (slaves) whom your right hands possess. Verily, Allaah does not like such as are proud and boastful”




“but righteousness is (the quality of) the one who believes in Allaah, the Last Day, the Angels, the Book, the Prophets and gives his wealth, in spite of love for it, to the kinsfolk, to the orphans, …”



god like who help orphans ,it’s not thier faults .

i have found this poem , it seems there are some people have another view about the meaning of orphan .



The Real Orphan  


The real orphan is unruly
 yet he thinks he acts coolly
He loves to rant and rave;
 is it attention he craves?


Who has produced one so errant?
 surely it is the hopeless parent!
The father too busy in the shop
 the mother buying another shapely top!
 
The parents cares for him not
 letting him to lie and rot
If one has to about him complain
 the parents says; ‘surely my angel isn’t to blame!’


To the parents I say; ‘if you leave the nanny to bring up your child,’
‘do you expect him to behave other than wild?’

My Dear Talk Now… :)
You see…
When I said ‘The Lost Children…’
I meant those Children who have lost precious things very early…
That could be anything that a Child should have to spend a Happy Childhood…
& even those who are forced by their Families to earn money…

& when I said ‘The Orphans…’
I meant those Children who are living in Orphanages…
I didn’t mean those Children whose Fathers or Mothers have died…
If I meant that way then Everyone is or will be an Orphan…
My Father passed away 5 years ago too…
But I’m not an Orphan…
Cuz I have a Loving & Caring Family & a Beautiful Family Life…

So I meant those Orphans who are living in Orphanages…
& According to me…
Like Every Human isn’t a Muslim…
But every Muslim is a Human…
So… Similarly…
All The Lost Children aren’t The Orphans…
But… All The Orphans are The Lost Children…
