Somewhere...

Somewhere some day
Something good
Will come your way
And you may think it
A rough balance
Or just reward

But if I may
I prefer to say
Something different
And maybe untoward

For somewhere a child
Is being beaten
And somewhere else
Another child is ignored
And in some other place a child
Is starving to their death
Perhaps very close
To where you room and board

So remember
When some little something
Twists and turns
And goes your way
That it is rare
In the grand scheme of things
And when some big fortune befalls you
Recognize it
For the miracle that it is
And take care

For somewhere...
