Ah! what would the world be to us If the children were no more? We should dread the desert behind us Worse than the dark before. (Henry Wadsworth Longfellow) Complete Poem

Bless the beasts and the children
For in this world they have no voice
They have no choice

Bless the beasts and the children
For the world can never be
The world they see

Light their way
When the darkness surrounds them
Give them love
Let it shine all around them

Bless the beasts and the children
Give them shelter from a storm
Keep them safe
Keep them warm

(The Carpenters)
