Child

Future of the world

Replica of history

Of parents

And grands

And greats.

The investment of our efforts

The direction of time

The inventory of creativity

Often devalued

Often overlooked

Often abandoned

Often vulnerable

Very sensitive

Extremely fragile

Most prescious of cargo

Requires love

Needs affection

Deserves respect

Demands attention.

Needs a choice

Needs a chance

Needs a voice.

Needs Emotional

Physical

And spiritual protection.

Value our children.

We need our children.

We want.... Our children.
