For Willie

Introduction

by Housewife4Palestine

One of the saddest parts of not being able to live in your own country is the seperations, especially of a parent from their children.

One person it brings to mind is a cousin who's wife just had there first baby and it was a beautiful healthy boy.

He works in America and is trying to get them with him, but it will take many years for this family to be united and he is saddened for he may never see his son grown up.

I cannot help thinking of the many people that say we do not love our child when they are the most precious people in our lives and seeing the sorrow with the loneliness on Willies face, it would make the greatest hearts of stone melt like spring ice.

Our Precious Children

There are little eyes upon you
and they're watching night and day.
There are little ears that quickly
take in every word you say.

There are little hands all eager
to do anything you do;
And little children dreaming
of the day they'll be like you.

You're the little children's idol,
you're the wisest of the wise.
In their little minds about you
no suspicions ever rise.

They believe in you devoutly,
hold all you say and do;
they will say and do, in your way
when they're grown up just like you.

There's a wide-eyed little student
who believes you're always right;
and their eyes are always opened,
and they watch you day and night.

You are setting an example
every day in all you do;
For the little child who's waiting
to grow up to be like you.
