Nature is delighted when we open our hearts To express the god-given talents Of love and creativity Of charity and of self-giving Wonder fills our hearts Whenever we have a glimpse of instinct Which is the playfulness of life that abounds in Children's open and sincere attitudes and behaviour. Most of the world's problems today Ranging from the inner city riots and crises To larger scale wars, terrorism and genocidal activities Are as a result of the fact that Some children never had Experience of love, affection Appreciation and are neither Guided to the right purpose to life The attitude of children connects us To the deeper wisdom of life We are called to come back to humanism To childlike innocence To make the world a conducive place for existence Direct our gaze in our hearts and Trace our childhood innocence adopting it at the same time As our present existing attitudes in life Thus, our thoughts, words and actions Would be as harmless and friendly As that which comes from the child's heart Let's work out and build a better world Free from degradation, violence and bloodshed A world of generosity, love, justice and peace So that future generations would inherit a world, which is close To that of the mind of the Creator. « return. |
