Today is World Poetry Day. We thought it would be fun to celebrate this day with some poems from CFCA staff members and Marlon, a 15-year-old young man served by the Managua project in Nicaragua. Enjoy!
La esperanza y el amorPor Marlon
En todo el mundo
Las personas se
Deben tener entre
Sí un amor profundo
En su corazón siempre
Debe existir la ilusión
Y la esperanza de vivir
Un nuevo Amanecer
En la vida para crear
Un mundo mejor, todos
Debemos tener amor
Un mundo donde día a día
Se respire el aire de la
Felicidad y la armonía
Si todos practicamos
Los buenos valores
Éste mundo crecerá,
Como crecen los grandes
Amores, como florecen
Las bellas flores.
By Marlon
In all the world
The people
Ought to have between them
A deep profound love
In your heart always
Should exist the dream
And the hope of living
A new dawn
In life in order to create
A better world, all of us
Need to have love
A world where day after day
You breath the air of
Happiness and harmony
If we practice
Good values
This world will grow
As the greatest love grows
As the beautiful flowers blossom.
Sponsorship Haikus
By Sheila Myers, Communications Department
Mission Awareness Trip
Getting off the bus
I look for you in the crowd.
Our eyes meet. Smiles. Hugs.

Your letter arrives,
Telling me of the mudslide.
I send you a prayer.
The Letter By Larry Livingston, U.S. Outreach Department
Today the mailman brought to me a gift as good as gold.
A letter from my sponsored friend, a wonder to behold.
Her hopes and dreams she shares with me, and what is this surprise?
A brand new picture! Grace and joy are captured in those eyes.
I never thought I’d care so much for one I’ve never met,
Or that in giving I would come to owe a happy debt.
I thought myself quite blessed, and so it seemed to me quite odd
When a child that lived in poverty revealed the face of God.
A CFCA Limerick By Larry Livingston
If God’s love is always in fashion,
Acts of kindness are nothing to ration.
So what do you say?
Join CFCA,
And help us build a world of compassion!
