My grandmother always taught me

To love thy neighbor as your own

And cherish each child of God

Each flesh and bone

For the children are the future

And they need love to grow

So nourish the little seeds you sow

And find a special twinkle in each one’s heart

That’s where you start

To teach and inspire them

To pass it onwards

To the next generation

Start a sensation

Of love and compassion

And never ration

Your empathy
