Our Children
Our children are a gift we give to you,
we teach them life with our views.
So be mindful of what you do and say,
as they will continue in the same way.
Show them love and you will find
they will go out and be more kind.
Teach them tolerance and you’ll see
they’ll treat each other equally.
Our children will be our legacy
we leave behind for all to see.
Raise them up so that they can see
there is nothing they can’t be.
