I wanted to share this with you... I received in an e-mail today from my father...
The American public need to see pictures like this and needs to realize that what were doing over there is making a difference.
Even if it is one little girl at a time. -
James Gates U.S. Navy
This, my friends, is what we need to remember.
Got a tough, but heartwarming story and a picture of John Gebhardt in Iraq. Anyway, his wife Mindy related that this little girl's entire family was executed. They intended to execute her also and shot her in the head but they failed to kill her. She was cared for by John's hospital and healing up, but has been crying and moaning. The nurses said John is the only one she seems to calm down with, so John has spent the last four nights holding her while they both sleep in that chair. The girl is coming along with her healing.
*He is a real Star of the war and is representative of what America is trying to do.
I dedicate this poem to one little child...and all His shining stars! Kimmy Van Kooten "
"One Little Child "
Matter becomes The day he was born There among us, A Child was born Fleshed in His likeness Do what He did His purpose for humbling, A message is hid
So why reveal, of His, as a gift...? And why surrender him nailed up and bound?
Our"Whys" will be answered, in what’s sought will be found!
One little child can change a whole world With one bending knee, in the hues that unfurl Reaching in arms and two caring hands A Love their will trusts, from faraway lands Fathers and Mothers, they may... never see
Rejoice! For someone will come, to fulfill all your needs!
All lives that lived, in such turmoil, has cost For some of these children, will live life in the lost And then these young men we’ve laid down, into rest Respect O' Ye’ Father all forced to this test My God! He is watching from up and above? Solicitudes in favor of His little ones One little Child can change our whole world With matters received from One Loving Man...
thank you for sharing such a tragic and touching story as well as your poem
