Dear Friends, Family and Fans,

They Are Our Children

By Lindamichellebaron

Pants below their rear

Their eyes wear a blank stare

They don’t seem to care

So why should we?

It’s our job. Not just a job. They are our children.

The language they use is crude

Their behavior is beyond rude

The girls come to school half nude

They do not seem to care

So why should we?

It’s our job. Not just a job. They are our children.

They refuse to pay attention

They don’t seem to fear suspension

They don’t even care about retention

They just don’t seem to care,

So why should we?

It’s our job. Not just a job. They are our children.

They are perpetually mad

They are always ready to "JUMP BAD"

Where is there Mom or Dad?

Their not here; if they don't care

Then why should we???

It's our job. Not just a job. They are our children.

The collective WE, that means YOU and ME...

Must lift them beyond their hard facade

beyond the masks they wear

to hide their fear

Lift them up with our collective care

It's our job. Not just a job. They are our children.

Great and so very true to life. Yes, they are our children and we have to put forth our best to guide them in the right direction. If we truly commit to taking them under our wing with love and guidance, we will see a difference in their behavior, attitude and gratitude ---- hopefully.

Thank you for the reminder that they
Are all our children. I prayed yesterday to approach a young man that was working in Long Beach yesterday with pants exposing most of his underwear. I respectfully said, “ Young man, are aware that your underwear is showing?” He said, “ Yes, Ma’am, Im sorry, i need to put
My belt on.” I said , “Please do that. It’s so nice to see a young black man working ...we have to ‘represent’! He laughed and said, “
“ Thank you” I did it because it “Was my job..because they are all our children.” Selah🙏🏽💋😇
