CHS of WV Father’s Day Campaign

Children’s Home Society of West Virginia cares for West Virginia’s neediest children every day through our emergency child shelters, foster homes and multiple community base service programs. The fear and uncertainty these children face in their lives existed well before the pandemic and will continue once the rest of us get back to some sense of normalcy. But you can help change all that by supporting the children we serve through our “Take 5 to Give $5—Fathers…Our First Heroes” on-line fundraising campaign in honor of Father’s Day, 2020. In this new era of long distance love, honor your father this Father’s Day by making a donation in his name to help support children and families in West Virginia.

Some People by Flavia Weedn

Some People

By Flavia Weedn

Some people come into our lives
and leave footprints on our hearts
and we are never ever the same.

Some people come into our lives
and quickly go…Some stay for a while
and embrace our silent dreams.

They help us become aware
of the delicate winds of hope…
and we discover within every human spirit
there are wings yearning to fly.

They help our hearts to see that
the only stairway to the stars
is woven with dreams…
and we find ourselves
unafraid to reach high.

They celebrate the true essence
of who we are…
and have faith in all
that we may become.

Some people awaken us
to new and deeper realizations…
for we gain insight
from the passing whisper of their wisdom.

Throughout our lives we are sent
precious souls…
meant to share our journey
however brief or lasting their stay
they remind us why we are here.

To learn…to teach…to nurture…to love.

Some people come into our lives
to cast a steady light
upon our path and guide our every step
their shining belief in us
helps us to believe in ourselves.

Some people come into our
lives to teach us about love…
The love that rests within ourselves.

Let us reach out to others 
and feel the bliss of giving
for love is far richer in action
than it ever is in words.

Some people come into our lives
and they move our souls to sing
and make our spirits dance.

They help us to see that everything on earth
is part of the incredibility of life…
and that it is always there
for us to take of its joy.

Some people come into our lives
and leave footprints on our hearts
and we are never ever the same.

This makes my heart happy to hear this! I work for a nonprofit adoption and foster care agency. It’s really sad that most older children are stuck in the system until they are 18. So I love reading stories like this. 🥰
