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. It's better than I could have planned.. it's made me who I am... {Trace Adkins} |

 (big angel hugs) God Bless You, dearest friend, there is an African proverb that says, "It takes a whole village to raise a child". I truly believe this with all my heart, as it means that with children being the most precious creation of God, that we all must be parents and provide love to the children of tomorrow, for if we can teach each child the ways of love and not of hatred together, then hatred will be forgotten and only pure unadulterated love will exist! (kiss on cheek) One person can make a huge difference, and I want to devote my life to the children, but I can't do this alone, everyone must be involved to pray for the children! (wipes tears) God Bless You, I absolutely love this and want to add it to my library for the children, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Donna, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "You'll find something that's enough to keep you |

Thank you Donna, for this poem. I too hope and pray for peace, though I am afraid that man will never allow such to grace the earth as a whole. |

We so called adults run gambit day seemingly everyday forgetting today is all we have tomorrow belongs to to the little ones so what do we teach young glowing eyes that dog eat dog our creed or that we are placed knowingly help ease forever sufferings man's greed in brutality fosters alike intolerance denying all round tugs at our hearts from little ones desperate yearn to grow up what should we say state of the world, oops sorry guess you handle it now worse teaching nothing but MTV Try to make sense of a world on Hollywood's finely honed salesmanship wherein values is it perhaps we have not truly examined ourselves actions words hung to by children who only wish for the same thing every human has love and be loved somehow TV sitcoms do not bear the load wondering when media replaced mom and dad influence viewpoint way In truth let prayers be raised to the now that giving and loving are known as gits never to let go, cry out travailing change me as I might show the children right wrong cry in humility shame rest not on the best I could cry make me more that I may do more each child God's little lamb needs a bit of help learning to stand for LoveLightRight Glean your calendar for walk to talk attention your love is what children crave above all as you talk reinforce the walk for there is one way One Leads by Example You might be amazed at what walking through life disavowing recurrent plagues evil stand instead like a rock for the beuauty of love sweetness of life perhaps begin a new walk not hard, a little guidance, some hope faith put one foot in front of the other remembering the future is holding tightly your hand learns from every word smile hug |
