Written: August 22, 2023 Letter to My Children Sponsored by: Anoucheka Gangabissoon Quote: I stayed in a really old hotel last night. They sent me a wake-up letter. Steven Wright ______________________________________________________________ In this vast world, my precious child, There are truths I wish to share, Of climate's plight and wars so wild, Of diseases that instigate despair. But there's no need to be concerned, my son. For every challenge met, a lesson won. In life's relentless ebb and flow, Adversity presence we blow My kid, the fate of the earth is in our hands. A delicate equilibrium must be retained. Because the earth is our treasured land. It is also our ethical duty to be restrained. Those wars may rage on, my sweetheart. But be aware that peace can still be found. Acts of kindness, love, and creativity are art. Spreading happiness and calm all around. Some illnesses may strike, my dearest love, Such shadows cast from the heavens above, Yet fear not, for science shall prevail. And compassion light shall never fail. In the depths of my heart, I feel a call, To recount the mercies that forestall, To treasure each day with gratitude thrall, And answer the world, standing tall. With honesty as your compass, you stride, Integrity is your armor, by your side, Empathy is your beacon, shining wide, Guiding you on life's tumultuous ride. In the depths of our souls, a fire burns bright. Love is the driving force that ignites our delight. It whispers through the wind, as gently as a dove. Transcending barriers, connecting hearts with love So pace forth, my child, with courage and grace. Embrace the world, let love's light embrace, For in your heart lies the power to ignite. A flame that burns with whispered wisdom and might.
