Hillsides

... for the staff and executive director ...
... of Hillsides Home for Children ...


From utterly broken homes they come to Hillsides,
And begin a journey into hope through Hillsides.

Special place where broken children's spirits can mend
By patient guide of gentle staff that crew Hillsides.

Slowly seeding promise in torn hearts afflicted;
Potentials giving children as they view Hillsides.

Haven for lost children who cannot know safety,
Forth from vision bright of such a place grew Hillsides.

Many children that would waste away in silence
Find their voice and live a life fulfilled due Hillsides.

Zahaar remembers vivid this place of healing,
And has fared well in part because he knew Hillsides.

This is touching! Children need reassurance and guidance and Im happy that there are places where they can get it, if all else fails at home.
