It was a beautiful summer day. My sister and I had decided to walk to our local library and take out books. Our library is located right smack in downtown, in a shady part of town. After making the trek across town, and checking out the books, we sat outside in this little park in the middle of the city. I have always loved that park because right across the street is this little stone church. I was enjoying listening to the church bells ringing, when I saw two young boys. They couldn't be much older than 11. They seemed to be enjoying walking around the park and playing with the leaves. It brought warmth to my heart to see those kids enjoying nature and a friends company. I thought to myself, maybe our generations is not as bad off as I thought. I could see those very boys becoming doctors and lawyers and helping society. Then the unexpected happened. The boys, who I had such high dreams for, came up to me and asked for a cigrette.
It makes me sad to think about these boys and others like them who are going off a bad path. They are bright, young, and full of oppurntunity. But a lot of times they can't see it. It makes me soo sad! The only thing that I can do is pray for them, and try to show them a better way.
What do you think?
That's awful! Must have been pretty disappointing. Pray for them. Yes, I guess that is something we can do.
