Let the children sing, <br /> Let the children dance, <br /> Let the children play, <br /> In a safe and joyful way. <br /> And teach them how to pray. <br /> <br /> Let the children walk, <br /> Let the children talk, <br /> To friends, relatives, parents. <br /> Show them all nature's wealth <br /> Let them relate to its health. <br /> <br /> Let the children work <br /> At chores selected to fulfill <br /> Full use of energies and will <br /> To compete, to give and enact <br /> The meaning of commitment. <br /> <br /> Let the children read <br /> Everything within their reach, <br /> All the things that teach, <br /> And when there's peace within <br /> There'll be peace without.<br /><br />Hildred Marjorie Schloss<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/remembering-the-children/
