Kid's Safe Haven

If a child lives with criticism, he learns to condemn.
If a child lives with hostility, he learns to fight.
If a child lives with ridicule, he learns to feel shy.
If a child lives with shame, he learns to feel guilty.
If a child lives with tolerance, he learns patience.
If a child lives with encouragement, he learns confidence.
If a child lives with praise, he learns to appreciate.
If a child lives with fairness, he learns justice.
If a child lives with security, he learns to have faith.
If a child lives with approval, he learns to like himself.
If a child lives with acceptance and friendship,
he learns to find love in the world.

Pumpkin Net Patch -- Fun Stuff

Haven't we all been here?

We have the responsibility for children...
who put chocolate fingers everywhere,
who like to be tickled,
who stomp in puddles and ruin their new pants,
who sneak popsicles before supper,
who erase holes in math workbooks,
who can never find their shoes...
We have responsibility for those children...
who stare at photographers from behind barbed wire,
who can't bound down the street in a new pair of
sneakers,
who never "counted potatoes,"
who are born in places we wouldn't be caught dead,
who never go to the circus,
who live in an X-rated world...
We have responsibility for children...
who bring us sticky kisses and fists full of dandelions,
who sleep with the dog and bury the goldfish,
who hug in a hurry and forget their lunch money,
who cover themselves with Band-aids and sing off key,
who squeeze toothpaste all over the sink,
who slurp in their soup...
We have responsibility for children...
who never get dessert,
who have no safe blanket to drag behind them,
who watch their parents watch them die,
who can't find any bread to steal,
who don't have any rooms to clean up,
whose pictures aren't on anybody's dresser,
whose monsters are real...
We have responsibility for children...
who spend all their allowance before Tuesday,
who throw tantrums in the grocery store and pick at
their food,
who like ghost stories,
who shove dirty clothes under their bed and never
rinse the tub,
who get visits from the tooth fairy,
who don't like to be kissed in front of the carpool,
who squirm in church and scream on the phone,
whose tears we sometimes laugh at and
whose smiles can make us cry...
We have responsibility for the children...
whose nightmares come in the daytime,
who will eat anything,
who have never seen a dentist,
who go to bed hungry and cry themselves to sleep,
who live and move, but have no being...
We have responsibility for children who...
want to be carried and for those who must...
For those we never give up on and for
those who don't get a second chance...
for those we smother,and for those who
will grab the hand of anybody kind enough to offer it.
