Our Children’s Future

My darlings, do not fear or weep,
For we, like you, were born to keep
A world of wrongs and rights.

My child, please dry your tear-filled eyes,
For I too feel the pain inside,
Since we were born into this world.

Where men and women fight and die,
And all we build, we oft destroy,
But someday you will rebuild.

Sweet children, you must show us how
To weave a world of love and peace,
A world with no divides.

Where politics and nations won’t divide,
And all will cherish life and love,
Though we have failed before.

Believe, dear children, and you’ll find
That as you pray and come to know,
Our world will bloom anew.
