Let Me Be A Child
by Mirriam Mk Salati

The age of innocent looted violently
The narrated tale of the order met harshly
Let me feel secure in my home
Let me realise that love is always the norm
I cant remember the sunshine on my face
I work all day in a cramped space
I cant remember how it feels to play free
I cant recall how it feels to climb a tree
Sharttered-self-worth from blows and knocks
A"good" child keeps quite never talks
Let me know when I make you proud.
Help me to have pride in my own accomplishments
And let me earn your trust
Trust me and i wont let you down
Let me try my wings,sour through the sky,
touching evry cloud
If i fail let me know its ok then encourage me to try again.... and whats More' Let me be a Child'

A special Friend
by Mirriam Mk Salati

In my life,
i've been up and down,
Sad, sunny,gray, and blue.
But i confess that i was blessed
the day i met you!
\The ones we love will often ask
Can i help you through it?"
But a friend like you
never asks;
you just set out to do it.
\And i can think of
nothing in life
that i'd rather do
than spend my days
with a special friend like you.

God, I'm saying a prayer
for those in pain,
for those who grieve
and those in chains.
I'm asking for mercy
for the innocents who've
died by the scores
and for those far away from home,
fighting a war.
Please help the homeless
whose beds are made of stone,
those out of work,
and those who are alone.
Ease the suffering of
the victims
that no one can hear,
the battered wives and children
who're drowning in tears.
Wrap your loving arms around
the aged, ill, and meek.
Give strength and hope
to the suffering and we

God's never at a loss;
he knows just what to do.
He's several steps ahead
of folks like me and you.
He had this week in place
before he flung the stars in space.
This very day was on his mind
before the world had seen mankind.
He even knew your heart well
when the world was still.
And long before your birth,
you had a purpose on this earth.
He's way ahead of me and you,
and he knows what
you're going through.
And though he puts us to the test,
truly, God knows best!

There are three words
that you should remember
all of your life--
three simple words to
help you get through
every phase of your existence.
Through happiness,
success,
and good fortune,
through times of
sheer bliss,
and victory,
fame and popularity,
through unhappiness,
failure,
and misfortune,
through grief and despair,
pain and strife,
through times of loneliness,
and emptiness...

remember these words:
It will pass!

Every day of your life
is a blessing
from God.
He gave you the gift
of a new day,
because there's something
that you need to
accomplish on earth.
You have a unique purpose.
So think of today
as a sacred gift.
Slow down long enough
to pay attention
to what's going on around you;
say, "Hello," to a friend;
take time to listen
to someone who needs you;
and appreciate the beauty
of the season.
Follow your heart always
with the knowledge that
you're a special person,
and rest assured that you'll
find your purpose on earth

What's hope? Hope is knowing that a positive outcome awaits.
Hope is not only expecting a dream to come true, but having a deep assurance that it's within your reach.
Hope is saying you can.
Hope is knowing that you can improve and that you always get better with practice.
Hope is knowing that you can achieve your goals through hard work and persistence.
Hope is looking to the future with joy and having an expectation of better things to come.
Hope is the knowledge that life is everlasting, and that miracles happen every day.
Hope is something that never abandons you.
Even when your life is filled with sadness and disappointment, a spark remains inside to help you get through the rough times.
Hope is one of God's greatest gifts to you, because it's the magic that inspires you to keep trying, learning, loving, and living.
