Dear God in Heaven,
I am sending up this prayer,
For the joy and well-being,
Of children everywhere.

May they all be protected,
And be held forever dear,
May their needs all be met,
May they never live in fear.

May their eyes shine brightly,
May their hearts be full of joy.
May the world hear the singing,
Of every girl and boy.

Dear God in Heaven,
I am sending up this prayer,
For the joy and well-being,
Of children everywhere.

+*+*+*+*+*+

Midnitesun ~

I have just written it into a song for the children of the world! I love these little gifts from the Universe. A few minutes ago I was staring at a blank page, and I have now written a poem and turned it into a song!

Have a wonderful day, Kacy!

Linda, thank you for thinking of not only our own children, but children of the world. There is so much violence against them, so much hunger, so much illness.

Perhaps if we storm Heaven with your prayers, life for the little ones will improve.

Hugs for a very special and loving lady and prayer.

You are one voice, speaking out in prayerful need for the children of our universe~
May we all pick up the song-prayer and sing of it's beauty so all may hear~

(big hugggsssssss) God Bless You, sweet friend, I too cry often thinking of the children especially in a prejudiced world like this now and I only pray the next generation gets more peace-loving people who can finally restore and hone innocence and love to all! (wipes tears) This is precious, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Linda, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
