We Love the child
Whose blinking light of a hotel sign
is their front porch light
The child
Who reads the menu from the right
to the left to see if they can afford it
Whose idea of a dentist is the
one they see on television
Who do not not know tears of joy...
just tears...
Who would love an apple a day and
not just to keep the doctor away
Forget an apple---How about an orange,
a banana, a pear? How about
A pair of socks? A pair of glasses?
A pair of shoes?
We love the child
Who has never seen a PG movie at the
Theaters
But lives in a R rated environment
The child...
Who isn't loved on by anybody
But will love everybody
The child...
Who most likely forgets your name
but will never forget you
Whose dreams are everyone else's
Reality
Who is not a picky eater, they
Just want something to eat
Whose hand is always extended
not for hands out but
for a hand to hold
We Love the Child
Whose picture is on no one's wall
Who is not on anyone's prayer list
Who has no one to remember their birthday
Who has never heard I LOVE YOU
Love brings Hope
Where there is no hope
The heart grows sick
Where there is no love
The heart surely dies
We Love the Child
At River's Edge Retreat
To bring them hope...
We Love the Child
At River's Edge Retreat
Because Jesus Christ
Our Way...Our Truth...
And our life...
First loved us!
