A family of four, they live in despair

Hunger and thirst, they daily bear

With empty stomachs, they lay in their bed

Wishing for food, a warm meal to be fed

The children cry, their faces so thin

A mother's heart, torn apart within

With tears she prays, for a way to survive

For her family, to keep them alive

The world outside, so cruel and so cold

A place where hunger, takes its hold

But still they hope, and still they pray

For a brighter tomorrow, a better day

They cling to faith, and hold on tight

To dreams of a future, filled with light

For the love of a family, they will fight

And overcome this, the darkest of night

A family of four, in a world so rough

Their strength and courage, beyond enough

A story of hope, a tale of love

A family surviving, from the heavens above.
