All of them covered


Shame on our nation
compromise hurting
choosing other battles
leaving them unprotected

All of our children,
their parents, our people
needing to be secure
safe within ourselves

All of them covered
that is the mission
the challenge to this nation
this place, this dream

America better
than our politics would mirror
too many hurting
left behind with no help

Our nation should rally
giving voice to this need
all should be healthy
no matter their means

My response to post by Tracy Zimmerman on Facebook
“What children's issue do you think the new Congress should make
its top priority in 2013? http://fb.me/1zkk8svNp
“True universal health care (including dental & mental)
for all the nation's children and their parents, regardless of income”
