Today I sat out in the sun enjoying the Sun and Peacefulness of my garden, as Summer graced my day… I am always sending out my gratitude and thanks to the Universe for all I have in my life.
Many around our world are not so fortunate, and my thoughts turned to all those Nations caught up with wars as innocents die, while just as many turn a blind eye.
I thought of those in other places, where they starve for lack of food and water..And my thoughts too went to the recent insane shootings in the USA. This world has so much turmoil and conflict. And yet here I was surrounded by Peace!..
I thought how many young children are having to fend for themselves as they are orphaned or abandoned around our world, their plights go unheard and unnoticed. And my heart wept in silent tears for all the Children of our World.. So out came my note book and pen… as I wrote this poem today.. As I thought how lucky we are…. and how many Children of our world Suffer.. And all of them need our Love..
The Time for Children
Mellow days lasing in the Sun
With gentle breeze Summer’s just begun
With meadow fields, and flowers wild
I sit with memories of a child.
Climbing hills and running fast
A childhood day forever lasts
Of tastes and smells and smiles of glee
If only a child we all could be.
To see the Earth with eyes anew
And trust the world not to be taboo
Where danger lurks around every bend
I wish the Universe a child could send
To show us where our race went wrong,
And bring back the Spirit of innocence song
Where children laughed and were unafraid
To respect and care throughout our days
But sadly we seem to have lost our way
Where no one listens to words we say
Respect is forfeited only for Gold
And Human life is bought and sold
And as mellow as my day is here in the Sun
I know of others sorrow because of the Gun
As innocent blood is spilled on ground
While my heart weeps in the silence of sound
Where are our hearts? Where have they gone?
What happened to our Children that grew up with Gun?
Enjoy every moment before it’s too late
Teach only love and let go of the hate
Remember the Children they are our Future too
And all are special including you
So nurture our Children and show them the way
Teach them to Love, and respect everyday
So as they grow older they won’t be so sad,
Knowing life dealt them harshness in a world that turned bad.
And someday they may sit and reflect as I do
On a World full of love instead of taboo.

Hopefully DW, we as a whole called humanity will awaken and realize we must care for each other. It is beginning but not fast enough in my book. Our leaders are hell bent to destroy other people when in fact we should be reaching out to them with love and support and caring. The world is so lacking compassion! I keep praying we will turn the corner soon but it never seems to come. It takes so little to reach out to another yet many walk on by…This is what we must manifest in our new world, love, compassion and caring for each other around the world. Supposedly our thoughts create our realty, so let’s get busy!!!! Blessings…VK

I am Manifesting VK, that I am, whole-heartedly do I send out my thoughts and do what little I can in aid… And I admire so much those who volunteer and go out to give hands on help to those who are in need whether that be on their own doorsteps or on the other side of the world..
I think the first thing all of us could do is not turn a blind eye.. and start at home, your neighbours and elderly .. the homeless around and about ourselves.. Its so easy .. and yet people find it so hard.. to Give of themselves, that little bit of love and compassion..
I often think Vk that is why this world HAS to change.. something Big has to change it.. for Mankind seems ‘incapable’ of reaching out from his heart to help a fellow human being.. and those that do, are few and far between..
Love and Blessings to you this Sunday VK..

Thank you for the beautiful poem! I cannot yet pray for others from the bottom of my heart. I thought as if it were my own quest. But recently one of my christian friend told he always wonder if he has a true pleasure, or just a sense of duty, to pray for others. So I found we share the same quest, which turned to be more worth wanting.

I think if we hold that thought Bibuji as compassion for another’s suffering and send out that thought to them to wish them a better life or healing, then we have prayed from the bottom of our hearts..
Prayer to me is simple..
Its my heartfelt wishes, and thoughts for the well-being of others.. whether that be in healing of health, to healing of Nations by asking inwardly that those leaders of Nations who deal in death, can be made to feel also that same compassion… and understanding of the world PEACE..
We may not be able to change the world overnight, but we can change our own world by being more compassionate and caring human beings..
When enough of us start to be and act like this, then we change our communities and the world..
But it all starts with SELF first…
Thank you Bibuji for sharing… Sometimes we just need to pray for our own guidance and that is enough to begin with..
Love to you my friend
