I beg to differ. To me-- I feel as though the writer is expressing sorrow for a child in poverty. Perhaps in a foreign country??
"Your sad eyes droop with hopelessness,
and I feel like I'm dying with you.
And I hold your toothpick ribcage."
Isn't that graphic? The toothpick ribcage could be due to malnourishment. I also think the last four lines express his thoughts when thinking back on the times that he met the child... and how he hopes that the child will always remember that God is Omnipresent-- and always with him.

Just my take on it...
