I AM THE CHILD

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I am the child,

All the world waits for my coming,

All the earth watches with interest to see what I shall become.

Civilization hangs in the balance,

For what I am, the world of tomorrow will be.

I am the child,

I have come into your world,

About which I know nothing,

Why I came I know not;

How I came I know not;

I am curious;

I am interested.

I am the child,

You hold in your hand my destiny,

You determine, largely, whether I shall succeed or fail.

Give me, I pray you,

Those things that make for happiness.

Train me, I beg you,

That I may be a blessing to the world.
