My Prayer, My Gift

When I hold my children, I am touching the future. I am holding possibility. I am cradling the promise I make to the world. That it will be better for them, that they will have more than I did. If I raise them right, prepare them well, and give them the tools to find their happiness, they will do great things.

They may not have money, or a head start,

but they will have kindness, they will have heart,

And they will share that, and in doing so, will make the world better for everyone they know.
