For The Children's Tears

In a field where roses fade
in the solitary twilight hour.
I look heavenward toward You and cry;
Will Time endure this age’s frozen grasp
where children are taught to feed on disparity
and a mockery do their tears command?
O Lord! Kiss away the anguish from their eyes,
for they are overcome with a despair,
that transcends all expectancies
with the barren rage of death’s eternal cold.
Open wide the caged door of man’s mind,
so he may see the harm he does our future.
For children learn to hate
and we are their teachers.
Give us the courage to love.

If a dream touches us,
it exists to us as anything
else that touches us.

I like this one, John...

I've gotta agree...
Our children see with undefiled sense ~
Their hearts and minds novitiate, our charge..
We are their world - their beacon and their light...
