Children Are In Need Contest

Born into a world filled with deceit, Morals that are becoming obsolete, Tossed into a cycle of hatred and fear, Poverty promotes some of our children to steal, Not one child is an accident, God already new, The hardships in life they would go through, Not one is the same; they all have an original DNA, There is a Purpose for every child even if they are lead astray. Many live in a home with a single mom, Growing up to fast like a ticking time bomb, Latch key kids and after school care, Is not enough love and can’t certainly prepare, Our children with the tools they need to survive, In a competitive world where you need an excellent drive, Many pretend that their children are fine, That they have not been affected in their heart, spirit and mind. Parents are in denial, While their children get defiled, Young girls hanging out on the streets, Being physically and emotionally beat, Selling their dignity just to feel like a male figure cares, Teenage boys don’t know how to love; they too had no one there! Help a child that you know is in distress, You could make the difference in their success, Be a role model and a friend, It does not take much too slightly bend, A conversation and friendly smile, May save a child from adapting to a wrong lifestyle.
