"Childhood Doesn't Wait"
I was sitting on a bench while in a nearby mall,
When I noticed a young mother with two children who were small.The youngest one was whining, "Pick me up," I heard him beg
but the mother's face grew angry as the child clung to her leg."Don't hang on to me," she shouted as she pushed his hands away,
I wish I'd had the courage to go up to her and say..."The time will come too quickly when those little arms that tug,
Won't ask for you to hold them or won't freely give a hug.""The day will sneak up subtly just as it did with me,
When you can't recall the last time that your child sat on your knee.""Like those sacred, pre-dawn feedings when we cherished time alone.
Our babies grow and leave behind those special times we've known.""So when your child comes to you with a book that you can share,
Or asks that you would tuck him in and help him say his prayer...""When he comes to sit and chat or would like to take a walk,
Before you answer that you can't`cause there's no time to talk""Remember what all parents learn so many times too late,
That years go by too quickly and that childhood doesn't wait.""Take every opportunity if one should slip away
Reach hard to get it back again, don't wait another day."" I watched that mother walk away, her children followed near,
I hope she'll pick them up before her chances disappear."

Moytura has several other sites with a 'Christian flavour'. The Circle of Prayer is an attempt to get as many people as possible joined together in prayer, regardless of nationality, colour or creed, praying for all that ails the world as well as their own personal intentions. Please join us - it's simple! Reflections for Lent offers a daily meditation for the 40 days of lent and the week leading into Easter. As part of my Journey section of the website join me to learn a little of the Early Christian Church in Ireland by visiting Clonmacnoise, started by St. Ciaran on the banks of the River Shannon in the 6th. Century. Read about Saint Brendan the Navigator who started a Monastic settlement in the tiny village of Clonfert on the Galway/Offaly/Tipperary border, again in the 6th century.Travel on my journeys to two of Canada's most famous Catholic Shrines - Saint Anne de Beaupré and Cap de la Madeleine, both on the shores of the Saint Lawrence river in Quebec. Finally I welcome you to come with me to see a little of Medugorje, a peaceful haven in a war-torn country - Bosnia Herzogonia.
