Children Need Our Love

Children are a special gift
from The Lord above
He's trusted us to care for them
and shelter them with love
we need to hug them
and tell them we love them
each and every day
let them know we're there for them
and listen to what they say
We need to make time for them
maybe put them before something else
What do parents think now days?
That children can raise themselves?
What could be more important
than raising our children right
what we instill in them right now
will remain with them for life.
so many children are reaching out
just longing to be loved
while their parents are out partying
or somewhere strung out on drugs
I can't explain how my heart breaks
when I hear these children's prayers
all they want is their parents love
they need to know they care
Parents please love your children
and make time for them each day
Don't leave any room for regrets
when they are grown and gone away.

I hear so many prayers from the young people I am involved with and it's hard for me to see them hurting so much inside. I just want to let them all know they are special and they are loved.
Just some more feelings I had to get out... :o)
