Each Child is yours........each child is mineI saw a little boy on a busy street,
he was not mine.....but
his small face was puckered
and his tears made streaks
down his dirty little face.
Somehow he had fallen, skinned his knees
and now he sat crying, on the city sidewalk.
People passed him by, he wasn't their child
nor was he mine, and I too passed him by.
But, something tugged at me
and I turned.. went back...and knelt beside him.
I wiped away his tears, kissed that little cheek,
and helping him to his feet, I walked him home.
His Mother was looking for him, and when she saw him,
she ran to gather him in her arms, kissed him, held him close.
She touched me gently, and thanked me with her eyes.
How worried she had been, how fearful,
for her little boy had been lost,
and this was her child, I had found.
Later that day the telephone rang
my little girl had wandered away from school,
She does that sometimes, for she is no ordinary child.
She knows no boundaries, nor does she heed danger,
she chases rainbows, and runs to catch the golden specks of dust.
that reflect the sunlight.
She follows her heart, and forgets to listen.
She dances in her world, and bumps against mine.
The teacher's were frantic, the police were called.
I sat in the office, frozen with worry and fear.
Where could she be? Whose arms held her safe?
where was my beautiful girl with the soulful eyes?
I ran out of the school, searching the streets...
in the distance I saw a woman, her face strangely familiar.
and by her side, was my daughter holding hands with her son,
that same little boy with the tearstained face and the skinned knees.
I ran to hold my daughter close, to hug her and kiss her small face.
Turning to the Mother, I thanked her with my eyes,
How worried I had been, how fearful
for this was my daughter, so priceless and treasured
this was my child. she had found.
Each child is mine
Each child is yours
I will love your child
you will cherish mine.
If your child his crying . . .
I will wipe his tears.
If my child is lost. . .
you will calm her fears.
Each child is yours,
each child is mine,
Put your hand in theirs,
put your hand in mine.
man! who does that fit, better than our community??
beautiful!
