OUR LITTLE CHILDREN
|
|
|
For all the little children who cry out in the night. When no one comes to take away the fright. For all the little children who want to be heard. When no one listens to a single word. For all the little children that just want a hug. When no one takes the timeout to show them some love.

We all try to find blame when our children go bad. We blame movies, video games, and music. Yet when do we pass blame on ourselves. Why are these the role models of our children? Why didn't we see trouble coming? What were we doing that caused them to turn to these role models instead of to family values. We don't want our kids hurting other, yet we give the toy guns as little boys. We blame movies, yet we let them watch them. We blame videos yet we buy them for them to play. How can we blame others when our lives were so busy we didn't find time to give them the attention they so desired and needed. Our children of today are no different then of those 20 years ago except that as a rule, they have no parent in the home most of the time. They are left to their own doings for hours on in. They show no respect because they are not given any respect to use as a example. Structured living is of the past.

Parents and society say our children can handle themselves alone by the time they are 9. Society has made it where both parents have to work to make ends meet. We want good clothes, food, and homes for our children. But what about our children. Don't they deserve their parents. Parents who aren't to tired to give them time. Aren't to tired to listen. Parents who have the energy to love them. What ever happened to the famiy where dad works and mom stays home. Where weekends were for family. Where parents could be there for their children. Structure their lives. We need to be of more control of our lives and set structures for our childrens lives. Many do fine in todays society. But many suffer. Emotions get hidden or die when there is no one around to express them too. We need to help our children emotionally. Hear them, hold them, love them, and structure them. We need to return to old values where it's not who has the most, but where you can be happy with what you have. Happiness needs to be measured but love not wealth. Society needs to give the children back their parents. Don't pass blame when society makes it difficult to structure our childrens lives for the need of survival.
