Notes About The Poem

My concern for children falling in drug addiction, bullying, and many other negative and unsocial activities has led me to write this universal prayer for children. Through this poem and prayer, i hope to send a message of protection to them.

Prayer For Children

I pray Lord show children the way
To keep dangerous dealings at bay
And be by their side all the day
So that in good deeds they are OK.
Save them from disease in  family
Show them social responsibility
So they can  escape all insanity.
Watch them all night and day
They must listen to what you say
Don't let them freely stray away
If ever they go the illegal way.
Let not evil beguile them 
Guidance you always send
So that united they all stand
Time and money they rightly spend.
Pray that they grow compassion
Nature becomes their treasured possession
They may rise against its destruction
And clean up for its preservation.
Bless them with wings of love to fly
So their warmth and joy go high
For only Goodness will fill their life
That will make the stars always bright
