My Children Contest

Virtue and innocence,
                                  Stolen when parents put
                                  a child’s emotions on a fence.
        A teacher by day,
       A babysitter when my friend who is a widower
       needs to get away,
                          Goodness and purity,
                          My niece loves security,
An angel to the lost,
Devotion is shown without a cost,
            They may not be my offspring,
                  However, I love them with my everything,
They may not be my juveniles,
But I guide them through all life’s trials,
                         Children are a gift from God,
                    The ones in my life have had it hard,
                       I treat each one with tender care,
                   Let them know I will always be there,
Lessons need to be learned,
Even children’s relationships get burned,
Guidance needs to be bestowed,
A bond where they don’t feel alone on their road,
                Impartation and constant evaluations,
                Instruction and exposure,
The children in my life needed a sense of closure,
So many are abused,
Their parents seem to have misused,
                I am a mommy to many,
            Making sure that they have plenty,
There curiosity and desires,
Help me feel inspired,
Breathing new hope and life within,
                    Showing them life can be better
                                             then how it did begin,
Making music out of a mess,
Helping to put pieces back together so they can rest,
                       Restoring broken dreams,
Watching them glisten and glean,
Speaking life into the areas that were dead,
Healing hearts and heads,
              Letting gardens arise,
                       Where weeds paralyzed,
                                My children teach me every single day,
                                       To appreciate my life,
                                                 Even when I feel dismayed,
           For someone has it worse, 
           This is not some silly verse,
                                 love can heal broken wings,
                                     embrace a child,
                              watch the song they will sing.
