Praise's Be Always To God Almighty

Little Children
Tender and Sweet
Within their hearts
Souls.. weep

As many as I have seen
Torn between
Parents.. Divorce's
They not know
Why? what to do..

As little Ben..
Came in.
With tears in his eyes
and said.. unto me
Why?? What Should I
Why? should I.. be Thankful!!

As I Looked onto him
I said.. You should always be Thankful 
God has Blessed you with your parents

Ben then said... but they are divorced
They fight over me.. constantly
to them I am just a burden...

I then said.. that is not so..
Ben.. neither one 
Would want to let you go
You should be Thankful..
You have them both

For when I was Your age..
I had No parents.. 
I had No mom nor a dad..
I lived in a Foster home..
You my Dear.. be Thankful
For what You have...

He then looked.. with tears within his eyes
Then said.. gez.. you had no mom?!
No dad?!.. then he said.. 
Yes.. I see... I do...
Thank God.. I do.. 
Face twas aglow.. 
Yes.. I have..
Alot to be Thankful for
My Mom and Dad
and You..
He then gave me
a big Hug.. twas ever sweet
Love of Child.. God's Precious Light

Praise's be to God Almighty

What more could I ask for today? It is a beautiful day the sun shining and birds singing. I am reading your poetry in which you share a little of yourself maybe without even realizing it you have written from your soul. Thank you for sharing your excellent poetry with us *Star. Love, Carol
