A Child's Path I

A CHILD’S PATH I

By Kalyani Rajalingham

Strive, My Sweet Child, To Stand
Stand, My Tall Child, To Seize Skill And Strength from this Land
Land, My Cautious Child, To Providence does your Safety owe a Hand
Hand, My Mannered Child, To Others a Voice To Speak and Rise
Rise, My Strong Child, Rise To Command
Command, My Leading Child, To Ease Eyes that but Weep
Weep, My Devoted Child, To Never Let your Memories Sleep
Sleep, My Beautiful Child, To Show your Worthy Smile
Ah! Smile, My Fair Child, For this World is Now in your Hand

‘Tis an open land My Fair Child, tell me not that ye cannot enter!
‘Twill be a harsh path My Poor Child, Tell me not that ye will surrender!
Walk it My Confident Child, May you be Praised for Ages to Come!

‘Tis your Earn’d Victory!
For, ‘Twill Stand through Time in Recorded History!
