For the Culmore Kids

by K. Leigh

Here is a simple poem

For the kids I met this summer.

When we all left for home,

The kids thought, "What a bummer!"

And I wanted to say for them

A special prayer,

One full of compassion

And Your care.

For Alyssa and Amir

May they grow to be sweet.

And may they well take care to

Give God their hands and feet.

For Mahad who loves soccer

And loves to hear his name.

May he become a rocker

And find in God no shame.

For David and Deborah

The mischeivous pair.

May they learn to show God's love

To people everywhere.

For Carlos and Mario,

Two boys I never met.

May their faith in God grow

As prayer becomes habit. 

For the two Jennifers who

Gave their hearts to Christ.

May all that He will do

In them not be compromised.

For Christian and his sisters,

For Danny and David,

May they survive the twisters

Thrown by the evil one.

For Umaar and brother Zain,

For little Faiza too,

May God help them with the pain,

Which they may share for You.

For Franklin and Carina,

Brother and sister true.

May you wash their hearts cleaner

Each time they pray to you.

For Kiara, Erica,

Carina and Kenia,

May they always worship ya

And always lean on ya.

For Cindy and Leslie

May they at peace with You be.

For Sabina and Hassan,

May all un-love be gone.

For Gladis and Pedro,

May your love they always know.

For Sandra and Ismet,

May they give You all they get.

For Juan and Stephanie,

May they learn to pray to Thee.

For Elena and Chris,

May they know what true love is.

In  Edwin and Carlos,

May You plant a seed that grows.

And for all the children Lord,

May your love be their reward.
