Children

You came here children to save a marriage, 
that couldn't be saved. 
You were delivered with all the hope, 
humanity can bring to a new day. 
You came and life was better, 
the childrens faces answered so many questions. 
You came expecting nothing, 
deserving the chances only we can give. 
You came, we failed! 
Now we must all see about tomorrow.
