Kids these days

Kids these days... Many people are talking about kids these days, like how they act all grown-up, disrespect, run around, cry out loud! And so much more... I work pretty close with kids these past year, and I think they should get a benefit of a doubt too. I'm not saying that it's ok the way they act what they act, but still, kids will be kids, so why don't we just take in their purity, innocence, love, cuteness, care-free attitude and correct them from their mistakes rather than nag them every single time they make the slightest bit of mistake.

Kids these days

Some sigh at the thought of it

Always concluding the acts

Of these young innocent souls

They really are a blessing you know?

Rather than a burden

Don't think too lowly of them

For they are all God's beloved

I never thought of them the way

I think of them now

These past year has really given me

Revelation after revelation

Of the wonders of these kids

They bless you like no other

With no intention they give without realizing

Just living their lives as a gift for us

Ok, they have their fair share of misconduct

But so do we don't you think?

For we all can act childish at some point

Not setting a good example yet always judgemental

Even recieved a little card from a young boy

Just to say he loves me

And wants God to bless me

His gesture speaks more to me than a thousand words

Or how so many children say they love you

And wanna buy you something

Although they may not have money

They love you for who you are deep within

They don't care if you have pimples

And wear glasses

Or don't follow the latest trends

They accept you with no strings attached

These past year my eyes are truly opened
Kinda like looking through the eyes of God

Finally seeing why God speaks so highly of children

For they really are small people with huge hearts

We can learn a lesson or two from them

For they too are great teachers

Not to scold or shout at us

But to just BE

Jesus loves the little children

I think there's more depth to that than we think

We are all His children

Although not all of us are little

We should take from them

What God desires

Learn what is exemplified

Their love, their purity, their kindness

Many can say that they are a nuisance

I have many friends who can't stand kids

Say their not patient enough

But I guess it's our lost not to be with them

For they open our eyes to things unseen

Unlocking our hearts to pure random acts of kindness

Exposing our souls to the gift of God's love

For they love with no limits

And give with no desire of return

Play with all they're hearts

And lift their hands in prayer

Giving God their full attention

They can be naughty, they can be playful

They're crying may be a soar to our ears

Sometimes unreadable or even hard to decipher

But whatsoever I'll always be in wonder with the ways of...
