FOR EVERY CHILD YOU PLAY WITH...

LESSONS YOU LEARNED

For every petal you pluck from a daisy,

You're granted one measure of love.

For every rainbow you find with two ends,

I wish you two stars from above.

For every tear you brush from a cheek,

I promise you kindness will follow.

Wherever you walk, under rainbows or stars,

Over daisies, or down lonely hollows.

For every child you play with and talk to,

I grant you one heart full of laughter.

For every smile you place on a face,

I promise you peace ever after.

If you think "I" am giving you priceless gifts,

Look close at yourself and your deeds.

The gifts you earned were the lessons you learned

While answering other folks needs.

Marlene Gerba

I just wanted to share this poem with you, I thought it was very touching. Hope you enjoyed it.

This poem is in a book that I have been reading, and it reminded me of the ELEVEN years that I ran a daycare. (I had to stop when we moved) The pay wasn't all that, but I sure had fun along the way, and LOTS OF HUGS, LAUGHTER AND SMILES!
Matthew 25:40 (NKJV)
40 And the King will answer and say to them, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.’

Even the rich are hungry for love, for being cared for, for being wanted, for having someone to call their own. Every time you smile at someone, it is an action of love, a gift to that person, a beautiful thing. God doesn't require us to succeed; he only requires that you try.In this life we cannot do great things. We can only do small things with great love. Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless. Let us always meet each other with smile, for the smile is the beginning of love. Let us more and more insist on raising funds of love, of kindness, of understanding, of peace. Money will come if we seek first the Kingdom of God - the rest will be given. Each one of them is Jesus in disguise. Mother Teresa
