They Are All My Children Part Ii

(Please do not read this poem if you have not read Part I posted below this poem on my page, for this is a continuation) But I have a child…born of divine nature As though through Immaculate Conception He is my little God Man Always peaceful Serenity is in his smile Compassion in his touch Purity in his eyes He remains unmoved by the chaos around him For he knows The tranquil state of his heart He calms his brothers and sisters Pointing them above And in his very presence Is the atmosphere of heaven They are ALL my little children A living part of me How can I banish any of them? Some are rejected Some are applauded Others are scorned and derided Still others are abused My heart weeps for my children My heart guards my children For though they may never be fully loved I have given birth to them And I send them out into the world So others may see The heart of the mother Of Poetry!

I was hoping part 2 would end well and it did. Very moving! I especially like the part about the God child calming down his brothers and sisters... it really made it come alive for me. I wonder did you make a part II simply because the site doesn't allow you to make such lengthy posts?
