Remember the Little Ones

Today, the last Sunday before wonderful Thanksgiving in the USA, my thoughts go, once again, to the children of the world who are suffering.

Seeing sad faces of  children who should be enjoying happy childhoods makes me sad, too.

Children of war break my heart in two.

They are  the innocent ones. They never asked to be brought into this world.

As bombs crash around them, what must go through their little minds?

I see the faces of sheer fear and bewilderment, too.

Why do we do this to children?  Why?

It's so hard to write about happy things like holiday decorations and baking and so on when children are suffering needlessly because of adult decisions.

Why can't we live in peace and appreciate every moment we have on earth? 

Today, bless all the little children everywhere.

WHAT CAN WE DO FOR THE CHILDREN OF THE WORLD?
