Ode To My Children <br />Child born with no choice of thy own <br />Child born as I rejoice yet moan <br />Thou art my pride my greatest prize <br />I love thee sweet child laying upon my side. <br /> <br />I Bare naked thou art born <br />Naked of sin, yet must soon be victim <br />For selfish men’s yawn <br />Yawn as they lumber in evil’s song <br /> <br />Be brave little one so precious to me <br />For I shall teach thee of God’s will <br />Live not to harm, but to enlighten the world <br />For there are many lost souls awaiting the true light <br /> <br />Open thine eyes upon humanity <br />Help those who need thee, don’t let them sleep <br />Empty stomached as thou fills your belly and feast <br />Think twice I prey, for they too walk thy same street <br /> <br />Shanika Paul <br />From the collection of Poetry on humanity <br />Dedicated to my sons Akain, Pasi and daughter Anika <br />Copy rights reserved<br /><br />Shanika marini Paul<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/children-49/
