Loved Child

A child who's loved and knows she's loved
Will have a shield to carry her
Through all the troubles life can bring,
Through everything that can occur.

A parent's true unselfish love,
More precious far than gems or gold;
And though her toys will broken be,
Their love she'll have when she is old.

A child who has someone to trust
Will be trustworthy when she's grown
And generations after her
Will reap from seeds of love once sown.

Joyce 04/12/06

A beautiful write, Joyce and very true...you can see  the eyes of children light up when their loving parents come for them after school. It's one of the special parts of my day.

No truer words could be written. Beautiful work Joyce.

I agree, so true. I happen to be the opposite. Lacking in love is like being a premature baby-psychologically and emotionally.

You said it so well.
