To be successful a child needs love and support! With love a child feels
welcomed into the world and with support the child can stay confident and stick
with the things they are interested in. I feel very blessed to have received both of
these gifts and I hope others can feel just as successful as me!

Angels Must Be Children
By Mary Ajamian
Angels must be children,
Fearless
Because they have never been called a failure,
Happy
Because they are loved unconditionally,
Trusting
Because they have never known betrayal,
Confident of Success
Because they have not met unrealistic expectations,
Self-Assured
Because every attempt to grow is applauded,
Caring
Because they themselves are supremely cared for,
Content
Because being who they were created to be is
Enough.
