CHILDREN'S ANTHEM
copyright© 1997 Sharon Fisher
Go quickly n quietly into the darkness,
Seek n gather all the children of the world,
Parade them from the far corners of the earth,
Assemble every last child at the Center of the Universe,
Ignore their whining n crying for loved ones left behind,
Silence their whimpering pleas by teaching them how to sing in unison.
Sunshine will melt their colors into a bouquet of love,
Moonlight will guide their way to honesty,
Stars will reflect the hope in their eyes,
Rivers, lakes n oceans will flow their differences into a melody.
Wild beasts will be tamed by their strength n courage,
Chirping birds will harmonize them with Laws of Nature.
Clouds will break away to a New Dawn of Devotion,
Rainbows will be ladders to Spiritual Consciousness,
Blowing winds will carry their innocent tones everywhere:
to gory battlefields,
to abusive homes,
to poverty stricken areas,
Every accompanying note will vibrate n echo Joy n Meekness:
to those suffering,
to the homeless n wealthy,
to the ignorant,
Hark....
Thy Children sing,
Angelic voices mesmerize...
Till....
PEACE prevails ETERNALLY !
ALONE

Confusion echoes within the empty rooms;
Teasing, whining, crying, laughing.
My stomach growls from hunger
Knowing mealtime is solitude tonight,
Experiencing a greater hunger than for food.
Tasks are not enough to busy
time intended for completion.
Quietness robs their focus
allowing my mind to escape
to analyze the how and whys.
Peace of knowing meant to be's
Beyond my intentions keeps
Guilt from overwhelming,
Self-pity from devouring
Designating a place in time......
