NOTE: In some lands children can't even go out and play in fear of being shot or something else. So this is for them.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Let the children play
Without the fear of death
Lingering at every opening

Let the children play
Let them have fun
Without getting shot
From a sniper who doesn't care if they live or die

Let the children play
Without the fear
Of being raped
Or beaten
Or killed

Let the children play
Let them be free to roam
Let them feel like they are safe
From any harm

Let children be children
Don't make them grow up fast
So they have to protect themselves
From the injustices of this cruel world

Just let the children play
Without the fear of death

Cold hands means a warm heart

I agree. The kids shouldn't have to be afraid to be kids.

What is life without poetry and adventure?
"Little sister" is just another way of saying "Guardian Angel"!
We do not stop playing because we grow ol

The opening verse, placed well at start and finish!! As an exclamation! Yes......
Let the children play
Without the fear of death
Lingering at every opening

I loved this. It is heartfelt and true. Sad but true!!!

(big hugggsssssss) Oh Julie, this is so very sad but true, sweet friend, I too pray soon we can have confidence our children will be safe and again they can embrace the sun and the beauty of nature! (wipes tears) God Bless You, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Julie, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
