Let the children

Let the children rise
In daybreak as darkness dies
Let the children eat
In fullness to be complete
Let the children drink
In wisdom gain dare to think

Let the children play
In movements no words to say
Let the children fail
In life but to not derail
Let the children give
In others so they may live

Let the children see
In mysteries soon to be
Let the children smell
In things too pleasant to tell
Let the children taste
In success never to waste

Let the children fall
In warm beds their minds recall
Let the children sleep
In still silence slumber deep
Let the children dream
In vast colors yet not seen
