Like Gems They Spread Their Glow - Chanso

Take a Chance on a Chanso Contest Sponsored by: Kim Rodrigues placed 1st ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- With minds as clean as slates, In queues, kids go to schools To ascertain their fates. With their colourful ties, Clad in distinct dresses, They look like butterflies. Not knowing their races, They make friends with others, With smiles on their faces. So soft are they as clay, Take whatever the shape You give to them today. So subtle are their hearts, Break them not with harsh words, Let them play their own parts. Give them freedom to grow; Like gems they spread their glow.
