Thoughts for Forgotten Children by Colin Mitchell

[bloodstained441]

Only God knows that I am a forgotten child...

[Truus1949]

@bloodstained441 I am sorry to read this!

[loveofdaisies]

@bloodstained441 You are a child of God and He will never forget you ♥

[MyCarla27]

Prachtige maar droevige video !! Bedankt Truus voor uploaden !!

[Truus1949]

Ik had het er ook best moeilijk mee toen ik hem vorig jaar maakte, het is een beladen thema. Ik heb hem voor vandaag maar weer even in de spotlight gezet vanwege de Internationale Dag van de Vrede!

Dank je wel voor je lieve reactie!

[shevacross]

Yes this is something for our group cross of change fb

[witchleaf]

Moved to tears, I grieve for the forgotten little lives.

[Truus1949]

@witchleaf Yes it is really awful that those children still have such a horrible life.

[DancingXPuppets]

Wonderful video. I must say that every time I listen to this song it reminds me of why I signed up as a volunteer worker in africa.

These kids are the future. But if no one gives them a hand, there is no future.

[65remark]

The world of children in black and white ... They are rainbow of the life ... I have not other words ...God forgive us!

Dio abbi pietà di noi!

Thanks Truus1949

[ROYS5166]

[Truus1949]

Thank you very much candy11!

[DariaVelZiutka]

Again, a beautiful video. And also very sad... It really touched my heart.

[Truus1949]

Yes it is sad Daria, belief me it wasn't that easy for me to do this video, because of all of those children, I can only hope that one day we really can do something for them.

[Hetty4u]

Prachtig gemaakt lieve Truus

Dan je wel

Liefs xxx van mij

[Truus1949]

Dank je wel lieve Hetty, dit was een project wat Colin en ik gewoon moesten doen voor ons gevoel!

Liefs van mij. xxxxx

[Morgana0x]

Wonderful video Truus. It's heartbreaking to think of all the children worldwide that are hungry, homeless or in pain. May God help them all.

[Truus1949]

Thank you Morgana, it is for sure heartbreaking to see and to think of all those children!

[judyesther]

Wonderful Work!

All the stars to you.

[Truus1949]

Thank you very much judyesther for your wonderful compliment!

[AndraNature]

It is amazing video, you can feel the sadness that comes with the song! I am really moved seeing the pain that unfortunately it is true! I am deeply sorry for all this children out there that has to suffer. Is it fair we are follow some believes with the price of people's life? War is not a solution in search for peace and hormony, we should give love to recieve love! Thank you Truus and Colin Mitchell for sharing a peace message.

[Truus1949]

I am impressed by the way you have put your thoughts here and in all the words you wrote I find myself. I can ensure you that it was for me not easy to do this video, but I really must do it.

Thank you for your utmost thoughtful words Andra!

[purple98290]

wonderful job =>5*****

[Truus1949]

Thank you purple

[pianist626262]

Kan je Colin ook zeer hartelijk feliciteren met zijn schitterende muziek! Hij zit gewoon boordevol talent en inspiratie!!!

[Truus1949]

Dat doe ik met liefde, het is een zeer getalenteerd componist en hij zal zeer dankbaar zijn voor jouw woorden.

[pianist626262]

Absoluut waar maar WIJ moeten jullie dankbaar zijn.

[pianist626262]

Dit is zo ontroerend schrijnend. Zeer prachtig op video&muziek gezet...een brok onvervalste emotie...Ik krijg het gevoel om ze allemaal te willen helpen maar weet dat het onmogelijk is.. Het laatste fragment met het beertje is uniek...nadien ook iemand in een glazen bol waarschijnlijk de maker die ik ZEER waardeer en feliciteer met de kostbare beelden die emoties losmaken en ons laten nadenken over het verleden, heden en toekomst...Dank je Truus.

[Truus1949]

Je staat niet alleen Franco met deze gevoelens, het heeft me enorm veel emotie gekost, het maken van deze video. Maar zoals je weet, soms moet je gewoon iets doen, al is het een druppel op de gloeiende plaat.

Het beertje gaf de componist ook een speciaal gevoel van hoop, dus ik ben heel blij dat je dat nou juist noemt.

Dank je heel hartelijk voor je inspirerende woorden, die ik zeker voor Colin zal vertalen.

[pianist626262]

Ik neem het aan en de boodschap kwam sterk over Truus...nogmaals proficiat aan jullie!!!

[Truus1949]

Dank je wel Franco en Colin laat weten dat hij je dankbaar is voor je mooie woorden, welke je ook had voor hem.

[pianist626262]

Dat is gedaan met heel mijn hart Truus.Dank je wel.

10*****************

[Truus1949]

Thank you and thanks to Floyd for the sharing.

[daveebella09]

hate to see suffering children...but most often we are helpless doing something for them esp.from the third world countries!

[Truus1949]

Yes me too daveebella, and you are right. We are most of the time helpless, but we may never close our eyes for it.

[Truus1949]

Thank you longLashes for your words of understanding where all this is about!

[pepenomedestormento]

Muy emotivo, pocas cosas hay que denuncien la injusticia tan ácidamente, como la mirada de un niño que la sufre.

[Truus1949]

Gracias mucho por sus palabras pensativas.

[Sherlock007]

Wars are not things that just happen, wars are carefully thought through and planned strategies by the small few on this world the illuminati, bilderberg and such. It's time we get our act together people and demonstrate our global non-compliance. Unite our minds and show no fear. Love will overcome. Peace

[Truus1949]

I know for sure you understand that I totally agree with your thoughts and comments.

When we all are on the same wave, maybe it will help the children.

[RomeSnowShower]

When we need to really understand the effects of a war we must think also about the devastation of children future....this video so thoughtfully directed by Truus using the touching Colin music composition cue, is a chance war not only destroys the present time....

Stars and fav...and thank you to Truus for reminding us all this...

-Luca

[Truus1949]

My dear Luca, thank you from the bottom of my heart for these thoughtful words from you. I can't thank you enough for this.

[Fr3derick]

Very sad video!

Grandma mary

[Truus1949]

Yes it is indeed Grandma mary.

[xyCuriosityxy]

OMG ... when I first listened to this composition on Colin's channel, it already moved me to tears, now, with the video it is deeply touching my heart and soul...

My dear Truus and Colin, I can only thank you for this!!! As long as there are people like you in this world, those children will never be forgotten!!! All the stars and favouring!

With hugs and my love to you!

[Truus1949]

Yes me too my dear Helga, especially Colin and I listen simultaneous to this song. My tears weren't stoppable.

We all know this is just a small amount for all of those children, but when it will helps 0,01% then I'm happy!

With my hugs and love to you!

[LillyC68]

Dear Truus and dear Colin,

what an impressive and strong work!

Everthing I could write about the music or video seems somehow strange due to the serious issue...

5* and best wishes for you and the children of the world,

Lilly

[Truus1949]

It is for sure strange to write about this work my dear Lilly, because of this issue what is unfortunately so true. I can ensure you that I really have sometimes big troubles with my response.

But as long as it is for the sake of the Children, I'll do my responses.

Thank you for your thoughtful words.

[6K6R]

[Truus1949]

Thank you!

[dahoser44]

My dear Truus,

Very moving video and your heart breaking images couldn't give you any more emotion to Colins music. Put the 2 together and it's very moving and sad! Children pay for so much of what we adults do, how more needs to be done such as your and Colins talents put together. Thank you from me to you for making and sharing this with all of us. Will this help their plite maybe not but it sure can't hurt it. All Gods blessing to you for this powerful show of compassion!

Floyd

[Truus1949]

My dear Floyd, how true your words are about what the children have to pay. I wished I had an answer on that!

[davemorag1]

Very moving when you watch this you cant do any else but pray for or think about the suffering of little ones around the world. I hope this gets lots of views and everyone is compelled to have prayful thoughts when watching. You never know god works in many ways!

[Truus1949]

Very wonderful written Dave and I really hope that everyone have their thoughts while watching.

[yilingseele]

My dearest Truus,you know I'm working with children every day and how I feel about them, it break my heart to see many children are suffering mental ,physically. Please give a helping hand whenever we see a child needs help,don't just walk away All Children are our children,love them as our own.If we have"Big Love' we will have a better and peaceful world.I'm so garteful for you and Colin for making a such wonderful work together for Forgotten Children.

[DharmaSaveTheKarma]

Dear Truus, i don´t wish you to see this life, like i have.

Moving is enough word, if we will move and to do something against it, however we know to give our best.

However, i hope you understand me.

Well done!

[Truus1949]

Yes I do understand you Dharma and what I wrote in an other response, when all this will help for 0,01% then I'm happy. Whom who cares are just wonderful people!

[DharmaSaveTheKarma]

Agree with you 100 %. We are responsible for them more than most of us want to know.

[Newien]

Oh My God..

[ColinMitchellMusic]

Dear Truus You have timed this video's release perfectly to go with International Day of Peace and I am proud to have been a musical accessory to this really moving, quite incredible video you have made. Thank you for all your thought that has gone in to the making of this minatiure visual masterpiece. Hugs from Colin xxx

[Truus1949]

Dear Colin, your song is hardly an accessory, it is the main of the video. We both have put our thoughts in this important subject.

Hugs from me.

xxxxx

[ColinMitchellMusic]

Yes, we have, Truus but I can really watch this amazing video with no sound at all , and be very moved by it! -it's THAT powerful!!

[BocaFriend]

Truus & Colin♥

Thank you for having the courage to challenge your viewers and listeners with a work of art

which comes from your souls and goes right

to our hearts. While the subject is heavy, it is

perhaps all the more important that we, who enjoy our insular virtual world, be reminded of conditions beyond our rarefied cyber salons.

As the music is deeply stirring, the images leave an indelible impression of humanity's compassionate response to worldly brutality, both subtle and extreme. ~T

[Truus1949]

Dear Terry! This subject is for sure heavy and it was for me not easy to do this video.

I totally agree with you what you just have written and I think you have all said.

[BocaFriend]

Truus, I really love how Colin has described your art direction as a "miniature visual masterpiece."

You forced us to confront our children eye to eye; you dared us to acknowledge the toys and games most of us took for granted; and you also demonstrated how children can be forgotten even when they're not alone.

Love to you for your sensitivity and generosity.

Love to Colin for his lifelong and ongoing dedication to improving the lives of kids (and adults) in his sphere.

~Terry/Tez
