Analysis of The Children
Given to us~ as a gift from God
Their story~ yet to be told
They only know~ what their ears can hear
Only know~ what their eyes behold
May we always~ feed them trust and love
May they learn~ to walk on solid ground
With the guidance~ from above
May their unique story~ be found
World Children Day
God Bless Them All
