He just wants to be loved...

A Child Needs...

We are products of our environment it is said
and from birth through life we are variously led
From infancy to childhood others are in charge
When you are little, others seem rather large.

A child needs benevolent and respectful care
As well as being taught to love and play fair.
If a child is taught to respect God and others
He will love himself and likewise his brothers.

Whether our childhood was nurturing or not
Comes the time when we must deal with our lot
The decisions we make will color our future
And show what we're made of as we mature.

If victory is to be won, it's upon God we trust
Knowing, loving and serving Him well we must.
Getting through life is hard enough we all know
Traveling with the Lord is the only sure way to go.

Guide the little ones in the ways of the Lord
So they, too, will praise Him, and to Him accord
All Honor, All Glory, and All Adoration
hearts full of joy and expectation,
toward the day of eternal jubilation
and
infinite exaltation.

I'm sorry for being so cryptic. My heart breaks tonight for a little boy who just wants to be loved.

Know this - - I would fight to the death for my children. That's the difference.

Interesting, isn't it? I fought so hard to bring a child into this world - - biologically. And it wasn't in the cards. I'd have given anything for it. I know of others who would give anything for it. Then there is him. Little Boy Lost. Caught in the middle.

*sigh*

Hang in there Little Man.
