Protect The Gentle Hearts

Protect The Gentle Hearts

Born innocent.
Sweet and gentle.
Free from malice.
A pureness of heart.

A curious nature.
So eager to learn.
An open mind.
A trusting heart.

Ventures into the world.
So young.
So vulnerable.
Easily influenced.

Keep a close eye.
Supervise and observe.
Guide the innocent.
Shield from harm.

I believe that it's a noteworthy campaign and I hope that all the good efforts put into it will bring positive results.

Jose of Tried It Myself
Laura Spencer of Writing Thoughts
Paula of Paula Mooney
