twas' 11 days before Christmas, around 9:38 when 20 beautiful children stormed through heaven's gate. their smiles were contagious, their laughter filled the air. they could hardly believe all the beauty they saw there. they were filled with such joy, they didn't know what to say. they remembered nothing of what had happened earlier that day.
 
 
twas' 11 days before Christmas, around 9:38
when 20 beautiful children stormed through heaven's gate.
their smiles were contagious, their laughter filled the air.
they could hardly believe all the beauty they saw there.
they were filled with such joy, they didn't know what to say.
they remembered nothing of what had happened earlier that day.
"where are we?" asked a little girl, as quiet as a mouse.
"this is heaven." declared a small boy. "we're spending Christmas at God's house."
when what to their wondering eyes did appear,
but Jesus, their savior, the children gathered near.
He looked at them and smiled, and they smiled just the same.
then He opened His arms and He called them by name.
and in that moment was joy, that only heaven can bring
those children all flew into the arms of their King
and as they lingered in the warmth of His embrace,
one small girl turned and looked at Jesus' face.
and as if He could read all the questions she had
He gently whispered to her, "I'll take care of mom and dad."
then He looked down on earth, the world far below
He saw all of the hurt, the sorrow, and woe
then He closed His eyes and He outstretched His hand,
"Let My power and presence re-enter this land!"
"may this country be delivered from the hands of fools"
"I'm taking back my nation. I'm taking back my schools!"
then He and the children stood up without a sound.
"come now my children, let me show you around."
excitement filled the space, some skipped and some ran.
all displaying enthusiasm that only a small child can.
and i heard Him proclaim as He walked out of sight,
"in the midst of this darkness, I AM STILL THE LIGHT."

Written by Cameo Smith, Mt. Wolf, PA

這篇是目前在美國廣傳的現代詩
是在Connecticut州令人震驚的 campus shooting發生後
有人有感而發寫的
來紀念所有喪生的幼童
讓大家讀後多少得到一些安慰
作者描寫這些小朋友到了天堂的情景
相信這些孩子的父母讀後
除了熱淚盈眶, 哀悼之餘
心中能得到一點慰藉!
也讓我們這些有孩子在身邊的父母
更珍惜這份福氣!
 
昨晚在bedtime 念國二的女兒說,
"媽咪! 妳今天已經親了我100次了ㄝ!"
其實她也習慣了
每晚睡前一定會用她可愛的聲音說
"Daddy, can you come say good night to me?"
也會說,
"Mommy, can you come say good night to me?"
老公一定說:"Sure!" 能和寶貝女兒抱一抱 說sweet talk當然好
呢? 慚愧, 通常是說: "馬上就來!”但每次都比老公慢到女兒房間
 
爸爸的愛在女兒的成長過程中是扮演著非常種要的角色的
足夠的父愛會減少女孩子過早迫切渴望男生的注意與關愛
 
好像有點岔題了...
Cherish the time we have with our children
They grow up too fast...
