Analysis of Voices of Silence



                     Voices of Silence
As each era passes from child to child, the prospect of some lost may burden our mind.

So often that vastness that masks their regard will provoke ones despair to relinquish your pledge.

With a guiding hand has each marked talent been stirred, and assuredly gone on with your value plan

Though a lost child may pass undetected, and dismissed others will achieve and take life's risks.

Ponder your duty for there are many such souls, who suffer, and are named to seize their place.

Reach thence for those that cry from afar, With a Voice of silence and gestures of desire.

About this poem

As a teacher I strive to help those children that are having difficulty. They tend to sit in the back of the room and are silent. They are silently reaching out for help.
