Bless the little ones, those of meek and mild cradle them in knowing there is more than this place that they call home. Give them the courage to survive and rise above all that they might see. {Ease the pain of the battered and bruised, bestow love to heal those who are abused.} As they walk to distant horizons guide their journeys and brighten their days, with the stars held in celestial heavens to light the path and lead the way. Let them watch the wonders of life unfolding found within the rising sun of each new morn, growing in the knowledge that each dawn brings with it a gift holding many treasures to be found. {Teach them with your grace the lesson that there is more than just lies here within... the earth bound.} Impart upon them pure passion for the day! Grant them the knowing of what love is for! Protect them from the indignities born of mankind, spare them the ignorance’s of what we have left behind. Fill their hearts with compassion for their fellow man relinquish to them growth in understanding. {Suffer not the children the realities of what we have become.} In the glow of spirit, may their souls learn to fly free, allow them to achieve all that they can be. I lift my voice unto the heavens up above; I am but one, please hear my plea when through my words of faith I now come to thee, and say a prayer... for the children. dmsmith 2-22-04 {I once heard Yanni say something to this effect, “Every great thing that has ever happened has begun with just one thought. Imagine, if we were all to have the same thought what the world could be like.”} If there were ever a thought that I would hope that all would have, it would be for peace. |

Gentle-Spirited One, may your words ring out loud and clear and be heard ~ and heeded ~ all around the world. On my second read-through, I recited it out loud! Unfortunately, my voice isn't quite loud enough to span the globe. ~ but the energy of your poem certainly will. ![]() Love to you ~ and to all the children in our global village. Linda |
