The Children

So many things in life bring pleasure ... pain.
When these hard times come. It hits home.
What ... Who is important in your life.

War ... Bombing ... Starvation ...
Homelessness ... Domestic Violence ...
Children ...

Let me say that again, for emphasis

"Children "

Do all these people .... realize how
these things effect our children?
It is time, to take a stand, for them.

I am so hurt ... brokenhearted.
All this violence. In the streets,
schools, our very own neighborhoods.
The *family neighborhood* in every
American town across the United States.
Guess what?

Beyond ... even that.
This is far reaching problem.

We as parents, friends, neighbors,
just good American people. We need
to think more ... of our children.
How this effects them. So much
Worry ... Defeat ... Echoing across
the whole world.

This violence is shaping ... transforming
our children. Not just here, in our own backyards.

Remember ...
What was like for you growing up?
Did you always feel safe? Secure? Loved?
What I ask, is this....

Remember the children. Make a better impact
in their lives. Show them you care. About their
feelings, what worries them, even their safety.
You Can make a difference.

Smiles ... Hugs ... Talk ... Encouragement ...
Support Of Feelings....

I just am worried. All this Evilness...
Is effecting our children. Remember.
We adults bring these children into
this world. They do not ask for Anything.
Except ... To be loved.
