Child Abuse should never be, it is a generation of disease
Our children are the world to be, they should not be tossed on violent seas
No harm to them should ever come, mistakes from ingrained human scum
Carrying scars that always last, into the future minds must be cast
Seeking for a cozy nook, anyplace we can feel safe; even reading a book
Teaching is the most valuable of skills to give, teaching right and learning to live
No scars to pass on, just a new dawn
Love the children of the world, and with your smile and your warmth
Guard those beautiful little souls, we so love, for they are still children despite the scorn
Keep your guard and keep them safe and warm.
