Right To Refuse

Right to refuse?

Do I have the right to refuse?
To a child who's willing to learn
Every ounce of knowledge old and new
And remain a learner through and through

Do I have the right to refuse?
To offer help that is due
To the old, young and my chosen few
Who are awaiting what's expected of you

Do I have the right to refuse?
To give love and to receive
For that's what we are here for
And shall continue to be
For until the lesson of love is learned, 
We shan't cease to be.
