Children With Bad Timing

How fortunate for some children there are those who will love and accept them for whom they are: God's blessings.

"Children With Bad Timing"

...didn't ask to be
born into chaotic
lives of parents who have
no time for children.
They didn't ask to be
neglected by mothers
too immature for the
career of motherhood.
They didn't ask to be
the products of fathers
who want to screw but who
will deny paternity.
They didn't ask to be
abused or murdered by
those who are supposed to
be protective of them.
They didn't ask to have
disabilities, to 
be less than perfect, to
be treated differently.
Children with bad timing?
For some.  But thank God for
those who love and accept
them for the gifts they are.

(c) 2007, Karla Dorman.  (3/14)

Nicely done Karla; children are not bad timing! They are hurt more than man realizes until they are grown & the hurt if left to heal, festers into bitterness:( God Bless! Daring

God Bless those who care Karla!!

And you so right.....when the screw is screwing...they don't care what is coming until the ball drops!!

And they say when the balls drop the brain is dead!!

Too much sex on TV and youngsters "testing" and tempting fate!!

Love Tinka

This is highly original writing. I have read loads of material on social behaviour, mainly academic discourses. These were tomes as thick as one's forearm, but this write has summed up the psychology of a child in less than 30 words!

Precise.

This is sad but true. I have raised three daughters and loved them all, I am now watching my own girls raise children of their own and I am so proud of them. They took the responsibility of being a parent as a gift to be treasured. Then I look around and see some of my nieces, cousins etc who produced children like they were a dime a dozen and walked away from them not knowing or caring what the long term affects on these children will be. That is the sad part, and you captured it well here my friend

Children ARE God's gift, unfortunately even to those undeserving.It is very sad to hear and see almost everyday some child, somewhere, being introduced to such brutality. I pray for all.
Be safe,
Karen

(((Karla)))

The uncaring parents of today need to read this dose of reality. Despite hard beginnings, a child needs to be loved and cherished. That is all they want. Very sobering, powerful write; very well done! BRAVA!

(((HUGS))) and much love, your twin sister, Karen Lynn. :(

A concept more should take heed to rid this world of so much irresponsibility.
Children are the clay, as parents... we are the sculptors,
Create your masterpiece!
Children truly are His gifts to us~
Enjoyed!
Love and Peace~
