This Is Our Future
Our children are our future we have been entrusted with to raise
With discipline and guidance, peppered with some praise
We must hold them close and love them from the moment of their birth
Until it’s time for them to take our place as moms and dads on earth
Little eyes are watching, we should watch what we do and say
Because the result of our investment may return to us someday
We must keep a careful balance and teach them right and wrong
Teach them to love their fellow man and that we all belong
They soon will be our leaders, teachers, soldiers, doctors, writers,
Truckers, dreamers, farmers, schemers, policemen, clerks and fire fighters
As they begin life’s journey we must carefully prepare
Each one for life’s adventure and teach them to beware
Of the paths that they shouldn’t take so they won’t be led astray
God has given us the Good Book to help us guide their way.
They say we can’t take our treasure with us, this we have been told
But the treasure we have been given, is more precious than all the gold
And somewhere in eternity if we have done what we should do
They will join us up in Heaven in our homes beyond the blue
No matter what our vocation this is our most important job
That we give each child we treasure the knowledge of our God
