Children of the World..... are our future and our present !
  
Thank you for the knowledge  
That you have given me  
The ability to look around  
And learn about all I see  
You taught me how to question  
How to discover why  
And where to find the answers  
Wherever they may lie.  

I asked you how a motor works  
You helped me discover how  
I was fascinated by a bird in flight  
And I know the name of it now  
A caterpillar upon a leaf --  
Look at the brown and red !  
I wondered what kind of butterfly it'd be  
"Science books" was what you said  
We planted seeds when I wanted to  
And played house when I was small  
You listened to my questions  
And helped me answer them all. 

You tantalized my curiosity  
You sparked my desire to learn  
I thank you for the tools you've given me  
And now it is MY turn.  
I shall make a difference  
And it is all because of you  
You've given me courage and inspiration  
And to myself I shall be true.

Children need guidance to learn how to think and question on their own...  
The world is at their finger tips if they know to look for it. 
By playing with them, helping them explore their world, helping them find the answers to their questions, we give them the tools to make it in this world, to become the best they can be, and to be confident in who they are.
