If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?    Matthew 7:11

—– 

Into every person’s hand,

God brings life.

 —–

Sometimes they are the children, of our passion;

Sometimes the children, of our compassion;

Sometimes the hopes and dreams, of our soul.

—–

And with the honor, comes obligation;

to breathe truth, to breathe love,

to breathe hope, to breathe light,

into that life.

—–

With the guard of ministering angels, life can grow.

But tempted by the guard of the fallen,

 they find anger, they find strife,

they embrace perversion.

—–

We choose their angels, in their toddler years;

They choose their angels, in their teens;

All choose again, in the maturing of life.

 —–

Where have we sent them, these precious lives?

What have we shown them?

What example have we set?

 —–

Do the angels of our light,

war with the angels, of their darkness;

Or do the angels of our darkness,

strive to drive away the angels, of their light?

 —–

Into every hand, God places the gift of life.

Some are the children, of our passion;

Some are the children, of our compassion;

Some are the hopes and dreams,

of our soul.
