Stone Child

by Ethel Mortenson Davis

Where were you
when they took her
from me?

Stone Child,
I will give you
lips to speak with.

Where were you
When they tortured
And killed her?

Stone Child,
I will give you
eyes to see with.

Where were you
when they threw her
out on the desert?

Stone Child,
I will give you
ears to hear with.

Where were you?

Stone Child,
I will give you
wings to leave this world.
