The plight of abused and neglected children began to weigh heavily
on my heart when I got into this project of writing
stories of children who lived long ago.
The idea for a song for the page came to me as my husband and I
were on a bus trip with our senior citizen group
from church. I prayed for the Lord to use me, and within an hour
I had the music and words written on a scrap of paper from my purse.
The song is a prayer for the protection of children everywhere.
The "guardians" mentioned can be interpreted as guardian angels,
or human "angels" who serve as advocates for children.

2010-11-30 Thi is a beautiful, inspired song - so thank you very much for it. I am creating a blessing ceremony for my great-niece who is just 1 month old. She has been born during a very difficult year for her parents who are dealing with a very rare form of cancer that has afflicted their young son. The family comproses one other child - the eldest, who is a girl. The ceremony is part of my Interfaith training, and I hope one day soon to be able to deliver it to my dear family. JB |
