Past Present Future

I'm not afraid of dying It's an inevitable part of life's cycle The terrifying part to me Is leaving my daughters behind To defend themselves in this hate struck world I try to do my part while I'm still here By teaching them compassion of the heart To love each and every soul they meet Despite religion, political stance, gender or race We all have trials in this life that each of is must face And unless we walk in shoes of strangers We must teach more love, less hate We all have goodness in us We all also have bad It's only the good which is worth living for Which is why we must be sure to pass it on Take only from this earth What is nessasarily needed What you take be sure to give back Whether by planting a tree or Growing a garden So that there will be enough for future generations It is a nessesaty for human kinds survival With each generation that came before us They all had hopes and dreams To live in a prosperous world With plenty of love to go along We must continue to build onto their dreams So they do not go in vain Start by teaching our own children So we can break this hatred chain
