Children's Toys
Children may not please each day
with everything they do or say,
but there's great promise in each child
for a better world could he stay a while.
You cannot know the world he'll know.
You cannot feel his painful woe.
Just show to him what's best, what's real
and let him earn his place with zeal.
Encourage him; in him believe.
Whatever he does with joy receive.
The greatest man was once a boy
who played like him with a childish toy
