Beautiful title... and wonderful poem, as well. "broken child, sleep not in tears" is my favorite line, just so touching. The whole thing is so sad, but even so there's that glint of hope that just makes it so enjoyable to read. Great rhyming skills, it has excellent flow. Keep up the good work!

okay, so i forced a few of the rhymes... :) we're all guilty of that sometimes, right? :)

I like this alot. The way you decribed the emotions in this was just great!
