Had me a dream

Had me a dream once, my vocation it surely was...
To put a smile on children's faces, a just and worthy cause

To you, God, I asked to make this dream come true
And if it be granted, then my promise was to keep my faith in you

You thought about it long and hard with a scare or two along the way
But you came good in the end, to my surprise I have to say

So here I am working with God's Angel's, in one form or another
Smiles on their faces as well as mine, saving them from harm, pain, neglect and any other

This dream you granted was more than I could ask
Instead you gifted me with another wonderous task

You gave me the power to write childrens story books, illustrations and happy stories to read them....to fall asleep with smiles on their faces, and for this, and to you, I'll say Amen.....

My journey continues, and how blessed am I, to have been given my vocation, not once but twice....So my promise is kept, my faith remains it seem's.....your gift to me is priceless and gratefully recieved.....

I had me a dream....

What a wonderful gift with words you have, i loved this, yes I believe children growing up happy and loved have an easier time giving when older. some deprived of this have a hard time but others go the total opposite way and give in abundance.handshake

I feel sorry for Kalim, he apparently doesn't understand poetry. Such beautiful work Kyriacos and so heartfelt like all your poetry. I wait for the next one.. Maymyo: purple_heart:
