    We Pray for...

    WE PRAY FOR CHILDREN WHO...

    PUT ALL THERE TOYS UNDER THERE BEDS...
    SLEEP THE SLEEP OF THE INNOCENT...
    CRY WHEN THEY HAVE A NIGHTMARE...

    AND PRAY FOR CHILDREN WHO...

    ARE FORCED TO SLEEP ON AND IN AND WITH ANYTHING OR ANYONE...
    THAT DON'T SLEEP AND CAN’T SLEEP THE SLEEP OF THE INNOCENT...
    CRY WHEN THEY FIND THERE NIGHTMARES COME IN THE DAYTIME...

    WE PRAY FOR CHILDREN WHO...

    ARE LOVED UNCONDITIONALLY...
    WHO CAN LOVE...
    WHO THINK SEX IS EITHER MALE OR FEMALE...

    AND WE PRAY FOR CHILDREN...
    WHO...ANYTHING THEY DO OR FEEL HAS CONDITIONS...
    KNOW HOW TO HATE WITH ALL THEIR HEART...
    WHO FIND THAT SEX IS A THING THEY USE TO STAY SAFE...

    WE PRAY FOR CHILDREN WHO...

    ARE FORCED TO DO THINGS THAT NO CHILD SHOULD EVER DO...
    WISH THEY COULD DIE...
    WHO ARE DYING MOMENT TO MOMENT...
    ARE MADE TO WATCH A LOVED ONE DIE AT THE HANDS OF A BELOVED PARENT...
    EXPECT TO BE HIT, KICKED, PUNCHED, STOMPED, CURSED AND JUST ABUSED DAILY...
    HAVE DIED AT THE HANDS OF A PARENT...
    WE SEE ON TV, BEHIND RAZOR WIRE WITH TEARS OF PAIN IN THERE EYES...

    YES WE PRAY FOR CHILDREN WHO…

    MUST WATCH A PARENT LEAVE WITH THE AID OF POLICE AND IN HANDCUFFS...

    WE PRAY FOR CHILDREN WHO CALL A CARDBOARD BOX HOME...
    WE PRAY FOR CHILDREN WHO LIVE IN CAVES, TRAIN STATIONS, ABANDONED HOUSES OR JUST IN THE STREET...

    WE PRAY FOR CHILDREN WHO HAVE TO VISIT A PARENT IN PRISON NEVER TO GET OUT...

    WE PRAY FOR CHILDREN WHO ARE HAVING OR HAVE HAD CHILDREN...

    WE PRAY FOR THESE CHILDREN'S CHILDREN...

    WE PRAY FOR THE CHILDREN WHO LIVE A BOTTLE, A BAG, A HIT, A TOKE, A SHOT AT A TIME...

    WE PRAY FOR ALL THE CHILDREN WHO ARE ABANDONED AT BIRTH IN GARBAGE CANS, BACK ALLEYS, CHURCH STEPS, CARDBOARD BOXES OR JUST THROWN AWAY LIKE SO MUCH WASTE...

    AND WE PRAY FOR THE ADULT WHO WAS ONE OF THESE CHILDREN WHO MADE IT WITH THE USE OF MANY AND ALL MIND ALTERING SUBSTANCES...

    AND I PRAY FOR ME..
    WHO IS AND WAS THESE CHILDREN...

    JUST FOR TODAY...

    A PART OF ME LIVES AND DIES IN THE PAST...
    DAILY…

    A PART OF ME LIVES AND DIES IN THE PRESENT...
    MOMENT TO MOMENT...

    AND A PART OF ME LIVES IN THE FUTURE..
    WERE THERE IS NO PAIN FROM THE PAST...
    GOD WILLING...


    NOTE: IF YOU READ THIS AND FIND YOURSELF IN ANY OF THESE CHILDHOOD NIGHTMARES, SEEK PROFESSIONAL HELP!!

    WE CAN’T GO THIS ALONE, NEVER AGAIN...

    This is so good and so real. It made me cry.

    Poetry is what is lost in translation.

    Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
