OUR KIDS

-VS-

                                                                        THE STREETS

JUST TAKE A MOMENT AND LOOK AROUND AND TELL ME WHAT YOU SEE

YOUR FRIEND, YOUR NEIGHBOR, AND EVEN YOUR KIDS HAVE CHOOSEN

THE STREETS.

SO WHERE DO WE TURN OR WHAT DO WE DO? HOW DO WE LET THEM

KNOW THAT THE DECISIONS THEY MAKE CAN COST THEM, ALSO HAVE

A LIFETIME AFFECT ON YOU.

SOMEWHERE BETWEEN THEN AND NOW OUR KIDS HAVE TAKEN THE

WRONG PATH. THINGS USE TO BE FUNNY NOW WE CAN NO LONGER LAUGH.

BUT IT’S NOT TOO LATE TO PULL THEM BACK AND RELEASE

THOSE STREET TIES,

BECAUSE OUR GOAL IS NOT ONLY TO EDUCATE THEM BUT ALSO TOO SAVE THERE LIVES.

IS IT THE DRUG DEALERS, PEER PRESSURE, JUST WHAT OR WHO IS THE

BLAME? OR SHOULD WE JUST STAND AND LOOK IN THE MIRROR AND

CALL OUR OWN NAME. BUT WE DO KNOW IN ORDER FOR THE ANSWER

TO BE FOUND, WE MUST FIRST PRAY AND THEN MAINTAIN STRONG

RELIGIOUS GROUNDS. SO LORD WE ASK YOU TO BE THERE NOT JUST

NOW AND THEN, BECAUSE WHEN IT COMES TO

OUR KIDS -VS- THE STREETS THEY CANT WIN.

 WE ALL WANT OUR KIDS TO HAVE THE BEST, TO SUCCEED, BUT

NOT AT ANY COST. BECAUSE THERE IS TO MUCH HURT, PAIN AND

DEPRESSION WHEN YOU’RE TRYING TO COPE WITH A LOSS.

PAIN IN OUR HEARTS THAT WE SOMETIMES HIDE, AND DON’T WANNA

SHARE. ALTHOUGH LORD YOU HAVE TOLD US THE BURDEN IS YOURS

AND ALL OUR PAIN YOU WOULD BARE.

SO LORD YOU SEE WE REALLY DO NEED YOU AND WE NEED YOU NOW.

WE NEED YOU TO GIVE US THAT SPECIAL SIGN THAT SHOWS US

HOW TO SAVE OUR KIDS, AND END THIS ON GOING  TREND.

BECAUSE WHEN IT COMES TO OUR KIDS –VS- THE STREETS THEY CANT WIN…
