POEMS FOR KIDS

A child's heart is full of love
Bearing all the burden

Holding on to every promise
Even the uncertain..

A child's tears happy or sad
Are real from within

The cry's come from their souls
Brought on by confusion..

A child thinks of only good
No matter what has happened

They love their mom and dad
But their souls will never mend..

Hold a child oh so close
Don't ever let them go

A gift from the all mighty
Like the first fallen snow..

Unconditional love
Is all that they say and more

To take advantage of that
Is to tear at God's core..

A child's heart is full of love
Not to bear the burden

But to love life to the fullest
Ever so certain..

A LITTLE PRAISE

---

"I got two A's," said the little boy, his voice was filled with glee.

His father said, "If you studied more," "You might have gotten three."

"Mom, I've got the dishes done," the girl called from the door.

Her mother answered sharply, "Well I hope you swept the floor!"

"I mowed the grass," the tall boy said, "And edged the sidewalks too."

"I hope you improved," his father said, "On the job you usually do."

The children in the house next door, seemed happy and content.

The same thing happened over there, but this is how that went:

"I've got two A's," the small boy said, his voice was filled with glee.

His beaming father said, "That's great!" I'm so proud you belong to me!"

"Mom, I've got the dishes done," the girl called from the door.

Her mother smiled and softly said, "Each day I love you more."

"I've mowed the grass," the tall boy said, "And edged the sidewalks too."

His father answered "Thank you!" "For all the helpful things you do!"

Give a hug, or thanks or praise, for the tasks your children do.

If they're to lead a happy life, so much depends on you.

A CHILD'S LOVE

---

A child's love is like a whisper, given in little ways we do not hear.

But if you listen closely it will be very clear.

They often do not say it loud, but in how they come to you...

Daddy, will you play with me? Mommy, tie my shoe?

The many ways they tell you, changes as they grow.

Dad, I made the team today! Mom, I've Got to go!

Pop, I need some money, You see there's...this girl at school.

Mama, I met a boy today and Wow, he's so cool!

Dad, I've got something to tell you... I think she is the one!

Mom, he asked me to marry him. Would you love him as your son?

Dad, I've got some news for you... It's going to be a boy!

Mom, I'm kind of scared of this, yet I'm filled with joy!

A child's love is like a whisper, given in little ways we do not hear.

But if you listen closely, it will be very clear.

They often do not say it loud, but in how they come to you...

Grandpa, will you play with me? Grandma, tie my shoe?

It is never ending. A blessing from above.

Listen to the whispers of a child's love.
