Every generation is responsible for breaking the chain of disfunction of hatred and heart breaking pain. <br /> If children are our future, we must make them see demolishing prejudice is their responsibility. <br /> Why is it so hard to reach out a hand? <br /> So we can begin to bring brotherhood back into the hearts of man. <br /> If only one child loved just one other, it would wipe out hate. <br /> I want to make a difference so I'll keep reaching out my hand. <br /> To give back faith in human nature, I must take a stand. <br /> The good that we learn is by watching others. <br /> Not through speech, not through hate, for example through the influence of mothers. <br /> From the moment we are born, we are put in her care; she represents what is good, kind, loving and fair. <br /> She releases us unconditionally into God's expert care. <br /> I believe that the answer to world peace has been here all along. <br /> Our mothers teach us faith; they teach us right from wrong. <br /> As mothers, so much love overflows from our hearts, we must utilize that power and give them a spiritual start. <br /> The most important learning starts at birth until they are seven. <br /> They must learn that God's love is the only way to heaven. <br /> So all of us mothers must bond together as one - my hand is reaching out to you tonight. <br /> Help me teach our children forgiveness; they must join hands and unite <br /> Only our solidarity as mothers "can put an end to this fight!"<br /><br />Marcella Marie Leasak<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/mothers-take-a-stand/
