When A Child Is Born

If you ever wonder why I say our children do not belong to just us.... perhaps these words will help... Our child is hope to us... and to the world... in our children... the miracles of tomorrow... so when they die... they die not only to us but to the whole world... My heart is sad tonight thinking about the family members who are unable to sleep... wondering how they find themselves here at this hour grieving for loved ones they will never see... never hear... never touch again in this life.. I am so sorry... It is small comfort... I am sorry your child died... your loss is a loss to all of us... When A Child Is Born ... A ray of hope flitters in the sky   A shiny star lights up way up high   All across the land dawns a brand new morn   This comes to pass when a child is born  A silent wish sails the seven seas   The winds have changed whisper in the trees   And the walls of doubt crumble tossed and torn   This comes to pass when a child is born  A rosy hue settles all around   You've got the feel you're on solid ground   For a spell or two no-one seems forlorn   This comes to pass when a child is born  (Spoken)   And all of this happened   Because the world is waiting   Waiting for one child   Black, white, yellow, no one knows   But a child that would grow up and turn tears to   laughter   Hate to love, war to peace   And everyone to everyone's neighbor   Misery and suffering would be forgotten forever  It's all a dream and illusion now   It must come true, sometimes soon somehow   All across the land dawns a brand new morn   This comes to pass when a child is born  All across the land dawns a brand new morn   This comes to pass when a child is born  When a child is born

Yes! I love these words. I feel that no matter how long a child is with us, their life touches this world and makes it a better place. I feel that about all of our children here on this site. Love and Hugs, Anne
