This Is For Madeleine McCaan And All The Other Ones

A song I heard today, and I nearly cried and I want to share it with you.

The first verses don't fit but I am going to do it anyway. It fits for all those children in the world.
With the same problem, and worse problems. I will sing it on youtube and give you the URL to see it when I do.

She goes to school with the lunch she packed.
Nobody knows what she's holding back.
Wearing the same dress that she wore yesterday.
She hides the bruises with the linen and lace.

The teacher wonders but she doesn't ask.
It's hard to see the pain behind the mask.
bearing teh burden of a secret storm.
Sometimes she wishes she was never born.

Through the wind and the rain, she stands hard as a stone.
In a world that she can't rise above.
But her dreams give her wings and she flies to a place where she's loved.
Concrete angel.

Somebody cries in the middle of the night.
The neighbors hear, but they turn out the light.
A fragile soul caught in the hands of fate.
When morning comes, it'll be too late.


Through the wind and the rain, she stands hard as a stone.
In a world that she can't rise above.
But her dreams give her wings and she flies to a place where she's loved.
Concrete angel.

A statue stands in a shaded place.
An angel girl with an upturned face.
Her name is written on a polished rock.
A broken heart that the world forgot.

Through the wind and the rain, she stands hard as a stone.
In a world that she can't rise above.
But her dreams give her wings and she flies to a place where she's loved.
Concrete angel.
The End

I nearly cried when I first heard the song today.
It is so sad how the world has corrupted so strongly. Madeleine isn't the only one.
There are so many more that need our prayers just as much Madeleine does.
Their names and faces are unknown to us, but their souls are suffering. And we need to do all we can about it.
When we hear a child's scream next door, and an adults angry voice, and the screaming slowly fade, we need to do everything we can to help them.

We need to be their guardian angel. And keep our eyes open fro anything we can do to help
those broken hearts out there.
If there is anything that makes me upset enough to cry, it is child abduction and child abuse, and every other thing out in the world that disturbs a precious child.

God put us on Earth to praise Him, and one the things that makes God happiest, is helping those who need help.

Triumph over evil is one of God's favorite things, as long we are doing it for Him.

Sorry I haven't written too much lately, but I have school, so just please don't desert me.

God Bless Those With Sad Problems Such As These, And Those Without.

Oh Jayde, the song is so sad. And you're right, there are so many mistreated children today. Parent's are failing to raise their own kids correctly. When those kids grow up and have babies, they aren't ready or emotionally stable enough to handle it. It's so sad, but we can mentor and do our part. Let God comfort you.

I would have asked you to pack clothes and bring them with you to our church tonight, but I knew I would be having my biopsy done on Tuesday and nobody will be home. But I just now realized, you are 13 and could have stayed here without us!! I still tend to think of you as my little niece, not my young lady niece! Sorry!

Jayde, you have such a warm heart. You encourage me. I feel as though God wants me to work with children, especially those that have been mistreated. I have a lot of the same feeling and emotions towards a lot of the same things you do. Who knows?!?!?!?!? Maybe someday we will be able to work together to bring honor and glory to the Lord through reaching out and helping children!!!
