Just like a dream, a child is born
crying "ah ah" as if to say "oh what a world!"
he comes to the world with no cloth worn
knowing nothing needed a guiding word
this can be likened onto a plant's bud
needing nutrients for a healthy growth
but when these nutrients are in displace
it puts at stake the potential tree
and it's flourishes diminishes
it's stardom at random
having been abandoned, dries up by the angry sun
and because he was led astray is forever laid to rest.
.......Plant the right seed in every child and above all help him or her get to know God.
