Poem for Children*
Children are not things to be molded,
But are people to be unfolded,
A child is a beam of sunlight from Eledumare,
Old men can make a war,
But it is children who will make history.
O Eledumare,
Bless the children,
For they are our most valuable resource,
O Eledumare,
Bless the children,
For they are a heritage from Eledumare himself.
Children are not casual guests in our home,
They’ve been loaned to us,
For the purpose of loving them and instilling values,
Every child comes with the message that….
Eledumare is not yet discouraged of man
O Eledumare,
Bless the children,
For they are our most valuable resource,
O Eledumare,
Bless the children,
For they are a heritage from Eledumare himself.
A child is the beauty of Eledumare’s present to the world,
Children’s children are a crown to the aged,
They are the one who keeps the family name going,
Give them a special period filled with joy and delight,
So they shall give you a period filled with happiness.
O Eledumare,
Bless the children,
For they are our most valuable resource,
O Eledumare,
Bless the children,
For they are a heritage from Eledumare himself.
The day a child is born,
Is the day a soul is touched,
How blessed you are to have a child,
A little child which is a treasure from Eledumare,
Their worth you cannot measure.
O Eledumare,
Bless the children,
For they are our most valuable resource,
O Eledumare,
Bless the children,
For they are a heritage from Eledumare himself.
