One day I was sitting at the park The sun was setting, it soon would be dark I was watching the children laugh and play And skip merrily along their way When I happened to notice over by the slide A small, liitle boy who seemed to hide He watched as the children ran and played Never joining them in their melancholy way I walked over and asked his name He was shy, he wouldn't say So I sat beside him in the sand Trying to make a castle that looked grand I started by looking for things to use For this castle would soon amuse As I began to build my castle high He scooted closer by my side The next thing I knew, he was helping me With the windows and the trees As we finished with all of our things He showed me a smile and told me a dream He said I wish my mom and dad were here I wish there was no woes and no fears I just looked and nodded my head Letting him know that I was there instead Then we put water in the moat And found a boat that would float Next thing I knew, there were kids all around Smiling and clapping at what they had found They asked who made this wonderul thing I said this boy,he's so full of dreams They gathered around the shy little boy And this castle we had built for a toy I went quietly back to my bench Smiling and watching in deep content And as the sun began to set There were only a few children left I saw the little boy getting ready to leave He'd been so busy with the kids by the trees He walked up and squeezed my hand Without saying a word I did understand Now when I come to the park each day The same little boy plays and plays For he no longer needs to hide For he has friends by his side Crystal |

Nice...very nice...there are some parents that have children that don't want children...and then they treat them accordenly...they value connections with someone that sees their worth...James |

 (tears fall down my cheeks) Oh my gosh, this is sooooooo beautiful, sweet Crystal, now I am flooding with tears because I love children with all my heart and believe every girl and boy is special and I want to devote my life to helping children along with songwriting because...I used to be that little boy and I know how hard it can be to be alone and I want all children to feel loved and welcomed! (big hugggssssss) God Bless You, sweet friend, you deserve extra special angel friendship hugs for this gorgeous write, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Crystal, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton I don't need no proof when it comes to God and truth |
