There is a child


There is a child
Who won’t sleep tonight
There is a child
Who won’t eat today
There is a child


There is a child
Who won’t play today
There is a child
Who won’t smile tonight
There is a child


There is a child
Who will die today
There is a child
Who will cry for help
There is a child


There is a child
That no one loves
There is a child
That has no hope
There is a child

There is a child
Who will pray today
There is a child


Is there something you can do? You can pray, you can feed a child, you can play with a child, you can help a child, you can love a child, you can stop child abuse, you can give a child hope, you can. Can you?


Learn the sign, tell someone who can do something to stop the abuse, teach children to repost abuse and listen, post this ribbon on your site and every post.

Thank you and May God give you the strength to stop child abuse god bless

    Took my heart this one Roy! I would take care of each child in this world if I could. Instead I just try and do the best I can to what I see around me.

    last week every time I turned around there was someone being accused of Child Abuse; I was so outraged by it that it triggered thoughts of a movie from '99 called Boondock Saints...I posted a clip on my blog; it makes me so angry...

    I know violence is not the answer as this movie suggests but.....With TV, internet new, Facebook, twitter and all the other Social Media forums we are talking about it; I think it is much more difficult to turn a blinds eye to it.

    We can no-longer keep silent!!!!

    This brought tears to my eyes and a lump to my throat. You have such a tender, loving heart, Roy. Thank you for reminding us all to look out for the beautiful, innocent children.

    "If anyone puts a stumbling block in front of these little ones, it would be better to tie a millstone around his neck and jump into the sea."

    Blessings!

    Beautiful post Roy, near and dear to my heart as well. By informing we can eradicate this abuse. We just have to try. In the meantime I pray for the ones who no one knows about, suffering in silence. Thank you for this post.
