Tell Every Child
Tell every child they have a purpose on this planet, May the birthright of every child be to have a wise caretaker, Who understands the fine line between discipline, And the breaking of a spirit, and how to mend one, And the need for understanding and freedom of expression- Without fear of physical attack, ... To know their bodies, And when touch and substance are harmful, And when touch and substance is beautiful! ... The birthright of every child should be enough food, sleep, Shelter, nurturing and access to nature. ... For the great spirit of the child grows in the garden of complete love, Giving seed to a sure sense of self, And a fearless child becomes a wise and loving elder, And every child becomes a wise and loving elder, And every child that flourishes with love, respect and encouragement Gives roots to a future without limitations on love, ... And may the child in you glow like a light all your life. ####
