There are faces I remember ...

(with apologizes to the Beatles, "In My Life")

There are faces I remember

All my life, though some have changed,

Some forever, not for better,

Some have gone and some remain.

All these faces had their moments,

With children and friends I still can recall,

Some are sad and some are laughing,

In my life I've loved them all.

But of all these friends and children,

There is no one compared with you,

And these mem'ries lose their meaning

When I think of love as something new.

Though I know I'll never lose affection

For people and things that went before,

I know I'll often stop and think about them

In my life I love you more.

Though I know I'll never lose affection

For people and things that went before,

I know I'll often stop and think about them

In my life I love you more.

In my life I love you more.

So many of these faces are still waiting:

Waiting for food

Waiting for water

Waiting for a bed

Waiting for a pencil to take to school

Waiting for a ball to play with

Waiting for a hug

Waiting for someone to love them forever

What can you do TODAY that can make a difference forever in the life of one of these children?

Can you send money for window screens so they can feel the breeze?

Can you organize a pencil drive at your local school?

Can you send money for soap and ointments to heal the children's skin?

Can you find the money to sponsor a child going to school?

Can you find the money to feed a child who is still waiting for a forever family?

What are you willing to do that will change their lives for the better?
