WE PRAY FOR THE CHILDREN
who sneak popsicles before supper,
who erase holes in math workbooks,
who can never find their shoes
|And we pray for those
who stare at photographers from behind barbed wire,
who can't bound down the street in a new pair of sneakers,
who never "counted potatoes,"
who are born in places where we wouldn't be caught dead,
who never go to the circus,
who live in an X-rated world.
We pray for children
who bring us sticky kisses and fistfuls of dandelions,
who hug us in a hurry and forget their lunch money.
And we pray for those
who never get dessert,
who have no safe blanket to drag behind them,
who watch their parents watch them die,
who can't find any bread to steal,
who don't have any rooms to clean up,
whose pictures aren't on anybody's dresser,
whose monsters are real.
We pray for children
who spend all their allowance before Tuesday,
who throw tantrums in the grocery store and pick at their food,
who like ghost stories,
who shove dirty clothes under the bed,
who never rinse out the tub,
who get visits from the tooth fairy,
who don't like to be kissed in front of the carpool,
who squirm in church and scream in the phone,
whose tears we sometimes laugh at and
whose smiles can make us cry.
And we pray for those
whose nightmares come in the daytime,
who will eat anything,
who have never seen a dentist,
who aren't spoiled by anybody,
who go to bed hungry and cry themselves to sleep,
who live and move, but have no being.
We pray for children
who want to be carried and for those who must,
who we never give up on and
for those who don't get a second chance.
For those we smother and . . .
for those who will grab the hand of anybody kind enough to
offer it.

This is in memory of the children and teacher killed in the shooting
on Tuesday, March 24, 1998 in Jonesboro, Arkansas. Please send this to
everyone you know. If this gets to the town of Jonesboro, I'm sure they
will be grateful to know that we all care.
This is also for the memory of all the children that have been harmed, killed or assualted in our schools..Violence takes so much from all of us...Their futures were to have been their paths to follow..Now they are watching from above and have through no power of their own left their loved ones for a safer place where no harm may ever come to them again..
Prayer for all our children is needed daily
as this world now is very harmful to them..
Takes them from the future that would have been theirs ..
Leaving sad sad hearts ..
Violence is a dangerous wave that is covering the world..
Help protect our children and the children causing them HARM~INJURIES~DEATH.
