A Kinette -Quili Award entry GENTLE THOUGHTS (A Kinette Quili Award Entry) i sat anid looked out the window at the trees, Enjoying their swaying dance from the breeze. The leaves were ail gone a lo ng tîme ago, Now buried and huddied under the snow. As 1 watched my mind wandered first here and then there, And then settied upon something about which we ail care; The children of today and of years gone past, How short their time, they grow up s0 fast. The unfairness that's deait them seems 50 great, So much to see, learn and do; "But wait, The tîme wili corne, you're just too little now", And ail of a sudden they're Itoo big somehow. For nine months we breathlessly await their arrivaI And struggie the next eighteen years for survival. We urge themn on tosa their first word And then shush them; they're flot to be heard. Encouraging them to iearn how to crawl Is the biggest injustice we do them of ail. Once they have mastered the art of mobility, We tie them down. What a terrible pity! We must take extra time to spend with our family Listen to them talk and laugh and pray daily., Look at your ch ildren, examine their eyes, They will surely betray any hidden lies. Open the uines of fa mily com- munication, Take them away on a short vaca- tion. Rend them a story, tell them a tali tale, Show them how to hammer a small nail. Let them help you one day as you bake, You'IlIbe surprised at the joy that they'li take. Show themn you love them, give them a hug, Get into some horsepiay down on the rug. Talk about Jesus,' our Saviour and Lord, Read together from the bible, His Holy Word. Go for a waik and look at the flowers, The minutes will easiiy turfi into hours. Answer their questions, 1 know there's a lot, But they're the only children you've got. Each day they grow bigger and far- ther away, Cernent those bonds that you have here today. Each moment, you are given can be used any way, Why not use it to brighten your child's day? The dusting and washing for this day can wait Tomorrow when You've time, it may be too late.
