Poem
To all those who don’t think what’s happening In this country is evil or bizarre… A reminder of the duties to our children…PLEASE…remember who you are… We have a duty to all the children of the world from the moment of their birth… A duty to make them feel safe and happy while they walk upon this Earth. A duty to teach them right from wrong…how to respect the land, the plants, the birds A duty to show them our actions will always be more important than our words. A duty to show them kindness and love…to help them grow, mature and cope. A duty to teach them about friendship, honor, justice and to fill their world with hope. A duty to show them things that need to be changed…and things they must accept. A duty to show them all life is precious…and that promises need to be kept. A duty to help them handle their mistakes and failures… to show them good manners are never outdated… A duty to show them that tenderness, love and charity can never be overrated. A duty to allow their imaginations to soar… to show them it is courageous to say when they’re wrong. A duty to teach them compassion, caring and compromise are ways of showing they are strong. Our final duty is to teach them every human being is important and deserves respect…no matter their sex, gender, color or race. And when we choose to fulfill these duties the world is a more peaceful and beautiful place. Perhaps the best reason to fulfill our duties to the children of the world from the moment of their birth… Is so they’ll be ready when they grow up to fulfill these duties for the next generation of children as they walk upon this Earth.
