It's May 27th And It's Children's Day

It's May 27th and by the traditions and customs of our land, it is dubbed Children's day.

A day set aside to actually celebrate Children.

Prior to 1999, it used to be marked with funfare and celebrations for children especially at the various stadia that litter the Country.

Recitations, Poems, Group Dances, Songs and all that used to take place during such celebrations even march past.

But with the renaming of May 29 as Democracy Day instead of June 12, the significance of May 27 was swallowed up that today, it has just become like any other day.

Nothing special for the kids

Well I believe that Children are the future of every family and every Nation, without them, there can be no tomorrow.

And you know what, the best world to live in is the world of the Child that is why even as adults closer to our graves, we still massage the little child in us and sometimes dance to its steps and rhythm.

Today, I pray that God will bless all the Children of this world and save those of them that are wallowing in penury, lack and abject poverty. Those in war torn zones, those that are being used as human shields in the form of child soldiers and those that have been brainwashed to act as suicide bombers - God help

Bless our little Children Oh Lord!!!!
