A beautiful day!
Sunny!
Bright!
A day worth living!
Corn is beginning to push itself out of the ground.
The animals are being born and enjoying new life.
Flowers are in bloom.
Life goes on.
Yet, on this beautiful day, here in my secure place in my country, I think about the children and youth who struggle to live. They struggle to survive within oppressive systems that see them as disposable and less than human.
I sit here. Words nearly escape me when I think of the countless faces I have seen.
Oppressive systems that adults continue to maintain that take away their youth. Children and youth are dying in these institutions. I wonder how long is it going to continue. How long are the people of the world going to abuse their life blood. How long is it going to take before they realize that children are our hope and our sustenance.
All children are precious!! When are we going to see that we have much to learn from them. When are the adults of the world going to figure out that everyone is indeed a gem worthy of love and care and all those things that make us fully human, fully loved.
Children need love. Young people need love. They need people who care about them and who want them to be happy, healthy and loved.
On this bright, beautiful, sunny Canadian spring day, I look at the beauty and I see all those faces of all of those children who in the beauty of our world look for their own beauty. They yearn for their own fulfillment. They hope for their own springtime so that they, too, can grow and blossom from the love they receive.
We need to tend to them as gardeners and farmers tend to their flowers and vegetables, with love, patience and perseverance.
When we treat all of our children with a sense of justice and love, then we as a community and we as a nation of people will reap the rewards of caring for the least of these, our people.
We will know how great we are when we look into the faces of the children and youth we care for and whom we actively love into their full potential.

and many, many others who work on behalf of children in need.
Let's take the time to love our children. To really show our children how much they truly are worth. For they truly are the priceless gems in our gardens.
