To All Parents 

"I'll lend you for a little time a child of Mine," He said.
"For you to love him while he lives, and mourn for when I come to claim him.
It may be six or eight years or twenty-two or three.
But will you, till I call him back, take care of him for me?
He'll bring his charms to gladden you, and should his stay be brief,
You'll have his lovely memories as solace for your grief.
I cannot promise he will stay, since all from Earth return,
But there are lessons taught down there I want this child to learn.
I've looked this wide world over in my search for teachers true,
And from the throngs that crowd life's lanes, I have selected you.
Now will you give him all your love, nor think the labor vain,
Nor hate Me, when I come to call to take him back again?"
I fancied that I heard them say, "Dear Lord, Thy will be done.
For all the joy Thy child shall bring, the risk of grief we'll run.
We'll shelter him with tenderness, we'll love him while we may,
And for the happiness we've known, forever grateful stay.
But should the angels call for him, sooner than we've planned,
We'll brave the bitter grief that comes and try to understand."
by Edgar Guest

Quotes

Hope is like a bird that senses the dawn and carefully starts to sing while it is still dark.      
--unknown 

Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards.       
--Soren Kierkegaard.

Hope is the thing with feathers that perches in the soul.       
--Emily Dickenson

Just as despair can come to one only from other human beings, hope, too, can be given to one only by other human beings.       
--Elie Weisel
