Every Child

EVERY CHILD

From out of the thought each is given and a few blessed receive not
A life of earthly time not asked for, but thankful for what we got.

From what we did and what we did not we ask there be no shame
Rather time be acknowledged with life, to repeat it all over again.

May mankind be thankful for the purpose and reason of a Mother
The one who is the protective shield against evil acts or any other.

Time of yesterday, today, and finally the elusive day of tomorrow
Histories past we honor ; yet the children's future we fill with sorrow.

As nature nourishes the soil for a seed to produce the stem and pod
A mind filled with energy and thought, is the bloom given by God.

Precious time a gift for theirs, mine, and most importantly yours
Enough time to question and for thought about any human cause.

A presence of light in a state of being devoid of evil and forgiving
Mankind's contributions to improve, sustain, and uplift the living.

Reason and purpose in front of our eyes and in our human hands
Image and likeness, beauty and wonder, is every child of grand.
