grow
    Free likewise to poor and gentry
    One day, their worth, we’ll surely know.

A CHILD:
    Look into the eyes of a child and see,
    Pure innocence, love, sincerity,
    Beauty of God, mirrored so bright,
    Filling the world with eternal light.
    Take the hand, small though it be
    Feel warmth right there, soft as fleece,
    Shedding its love to you unaware,
    Profusely over life’s thoroughfare.
    Rest its head o’er your throbbing heart
    Feel the peace which sets you apart
    From the hustle and bustle of a world gone mad
    Making you happy, no need to feel sad.
    The presence of God, you feel when a child
    Graces your home, a gift of delight,
    The angels around him, they sure recognise
    God’s token to mankind, a baby’s soft smile.
    This bundle of love was once a wee seed
    Planted, it blossomed, nine months was its peak,
    Transformed so quickly, grew two hands and two feet
    A brain and a heart-beat and minute baby teeth.
    One day this child may be doctor or king,
    Prominent leader, entertainer to sing
    ,A hero renowned, great joy it could bring
    In lands far away in winter or Spring.
    Sometimes baby seed may be ditched ere the dawn
    Or torn apart like a brown hunted fawn,
    Manually crushed, or removed with great pain,
    Sent back to its God without title or name.
    Mothers expecting, your babies to day,
    With love in my heart, I beseech you and say,
    Treasure the babes in your wombs, while you wait
    Just a loan, they’re from God, and His future saints.

Some time ago, I came across the following little poem
    and I have no idea who wrote it or where
    I originally found it, but I liked it and kept it.....
T AKE TIME TO THINK-
    It is the source of power.
    Take time to read-
    It is the foundation of wisdom.
    Take time to play-
    It is the secret of staying young.
    Take time to be quiet-
    It is the opportunity to seek God.
    Take time to be aware-
    It is the opportunity to help others.
    Take time to love and be loved-
    It is God’s greatest gift.
    Take time to laugh-
    It is the music of the soul.
    Take time to be friendly-
    It is the road to happiness.
    Take time to dream-
    It is what the future is made of.
    Take time to pray-
    It is the greatest power on earth.
    THERE IS A TIME FOR EVERYTHING.

MY WISH FOR THE HUMAN RACE
    As rain from the clouds fall down on the mountains
    Then topples in streamlets to rivers and streams,
    May the hearts of our people be lively as fountains
    Filled with trust in their GOD, true love without fear.
    Ask help from OUR LADY, our mother so gentle,
    She loves us forever as good mothers do,
    In Spring, or in Summer, in Autumn and Winter
    Consolation in trouble, always thinking of you.
    Through heartbreak and sorrow, joys and good fortune,
    Your Angel is standing right by your side,
    To lead you to God, your Creator and Father,
    No friend in this world could e’er be so loyal.
    The Saints up in Heaven, our friends so contented
    Were once in this world and know pain, work and strife
    Like lawyers in a court room, they’ll speak a word for us
    When we stand before God at the end of this life.
    The souls of our loved ones, perhaps still some unhappy
    May be begging for prayers in Purgatory’s fires,
    Let us pray and implore our Heavenly Father
    To release them to-day midst the Heavenly choirs.
    The Communion of Saints, a group so united
    Connected together on Eternity’s list
    The SAINTS now in glory, the FAITHFUL on our soil
    And the SUFFERING SOULS soon nearing great bliss.
    Our lives are fast fading, the pace is increasing,
    Before very long we’ll be unheard of, unknown
    But up midst the Angels, let’s hope we’re remembered
    When God will assure us we’re ONE OF HIS OWN.
    Never lose hope or give in to depression,
    The joys that await us no eye can conceive
    Our own Guardian Angel our strength and assistant
    Will help in all crisis, and our essential needs.
