    Child Dream
    Child Dream


     I long for a swing in a little child's dream
     with  melodious, heartfelt song

    I dream of a child, open heart, life to start
    ahead days of love and belonging

    I believe in a child beautiful and smart
    with a sense of purpose dawning

    I live through a child with a longing heart
    accepting the change of summon

    I pray for the child every breath, every step
    to see the dream forthcoming


    -M. Jacobs

    This is very cute. It reminds me that everyone has a dream. Maybe more than one. I hope all the children live out their dreams. :) How sweet.

    Children are so comforted by the love we give them. We are their guiding light that leads them on the right path, We are their examples. Good right. It is up to the parent to make sure this is done.It is like looking in a mirror.Their refection resembles the teacher the parent.

    Zaph, Thanks for expressing that powerful connection. My role as a mother permeates my soul.
