Blessed Are The Children... A Poem by IkembaCMD(m): 1:27am On May 27, 2016
…BLESSED ARE THE CHILDREN;
{Have a happy day}


Blessed are the young ones, in all ramifications
For in their littleness, lies a pure form of affection;
An appealing affection, so charming and soft
It's stands salient like the beaming sun in the sky's loft


Arise, dear little children and be full of frantic cheer,
For this day has been earmarked for your worthy glare;
Your first breath and conception is a miracle to behold;
Your emergence and greatness, a mystery yet to unfold


Oh dear Custodian; Embrace the kids and treat them well
Let them see Nature’s course; so they’ll have stories to tell
Teach the pubescent ones the words of morality and truth
For their deeds shall dictate the stance of the future’s root


Long live these simple-minded treasures! So funny and lovely;
Their great presence, is good company to the dry and lonely.
Oh Great Creator, to the ones embattled by the twists of fate;
Grant your peaceful benevolence on them all at a steadfast rate…
