Protect Our Children

Our children are our future. Protect them from evil.

Protect Our Children

 

Protect our children,
from any pain.
They need to be nurtured,
and saved from blame.
Keep them protected,
save them from evil.
  Teach them,
guide them,
and Treat them as equal.

God forbid,
we turn our backs.
Abuse can happen,
as fast as that.
Focus on changes,
in their behaviour.
You are their eyes,
you are,
their saviour.

Find some time,
to talk to your child.
Never get loud,
never get wild.
We only have one shot,
at making it right.
Our children should feel,
happy,
and bright.

Parents and teachers everywhere should read and heed your words, Leo. Wise and sensible - why don't we already do this? Great write!

Thanks Rita. My dream is to see a word of harmony and security for our children. Everywhere in the world.
Appreciate your kind words.

I feel this way also. It's a shame how many kids their are walking around clueless about things they should have been taught or children who act out so they can get attention of any kind. They should be treated right and with dignity. They didn't ask to be here.

Truth well spoken. Recently in Western Australia a crime was placed on TV and I was so discussed with how anyone could hurt a child. It made me sick. We need to nurture and protect our children.
Thank you so much for your comment my friend. I hope you have a wonderful weekend.
Leo :)

this is so full of common sense...we are responsible for our children...to lead them in the right direction...once they are grown they will do as they will...

like crosby, stills, nash and young sang.."teach your children well---give them a code that they can live by"

This seems more of a speech... a cry out to parents and guardians of the next generation to look forward and teach them the path of righteousness... in the age where they grow up with single parents or parents not even adults themselves is a harsh reality... Yet... not one to be abandon... with the ethics of rearing them to be the next to uphold generation after another...

[Leonard Birch]

Yes, it is really a cry for understanding that we need to look out for the children of this time. It is a sad reality that there is bad out there, but with a better understanding and a learning ... we will cope with any changes.
Thank you my friend for reading my Poem. I really do appreciate it.

So true! A great poem for parents who struggle to fulfill the duties associated with raising children.
Again, your rhymes are splendid. It's a joy to read your work just to see what words you rhyme together.
I love your work, especially this poem. Great job!

[Leonard Birch]

Thank you my friend. I enjoy writing and I guess I should have done this years ago, however, I guess it is never too late.
Your comments are wonderful and well appreciated. Yes, there are so many hurdles that parents have deal with and no one wishes any harm on their children.
Thanking you once again

Leonard, This is a beautifully written poem and has a wonderful message. It's sad to think that some kids don't have anyone looking out for them. It's a much scarier world today than the world I grew up in.
Thank you for sharing this!

[Leonard Birch]

From memory ... I think I have been here with you all from WritersCafe for four weeks and I am very glad to know so many great, helpful people.
Your comment is touching and I really appreciate the response. I also appreciate the way everyone is so helpful. That's what it is all about.
Yes, our children of this untame world need to be looked out for and if I can help in a small way ... I am hopeful that abuse will cease.
Thank you again Sharon.

You are very welcome Leo! I, too, have been very grateful for all of the wonderful, kind and helpful people I have met here. (It's amazing to meet people from all over the world who share similar interests and views- it truly is a small world after all! :) )

[Leonard Birch]

That is very true Sharon. Far yet close.
Wonderful.
