Some children in families will grow up "alone".
Their fears and desires are simply not known.
When both parents work, a child can get "lost".
When they're "too busy", the child pays the cost.
Children need nurture and time just to share
What their day was like with parents who care.
A child will be lonely when these times are missed
And cry out to others they should not enlist.
When they are nurtured they'll not drift away.
When home is fulfilling they'll not go astray.
If you spend time with them, they'll know you care.
Know and enjoy them... and wrap them in prayer.
"Lo, children are an heritage of the Lord: and the fruit of the womb is his reward."
Psalm 127:3 KJV
