Every child is yours

Every child is your child; treat them with respect, love and care
Pay attention to their needs, don’t ignore their public display
Of foolishness correct them, lead an exemplary life.

It may seem like their owners business to you
But if we don’t contribute to our future generation
These same ones will rob our banks, break street lights
And hold our children at gun point, then they will become
Our concern.

Every child is my child; I will treat them as such.
