Sweet Child of Tomorrow's Promise

Sometimes it is hard to see the progress of good in this world but looking back, we can see that the world is gradually changing and with our prayers will continue to evolve into a civilized planet someday...


Oh sweet child of tomorrow’s promise


I see a chance for humanities woes


In your smile and in your laughter


Even in the wiggling of your toes


 


In you I see our future hopes


In you I see our past sins recede


In you as in every generation


Our immortality once more will breed


 


In your eyes I see the hopes of Kennedy


In your heart the dream of Mr. King


In your mind the iron wall tumbling


In your courage the terrorists trembling


 


Oh youth, sweet youth, we pass the torch


We know from us you’ll hold it high


You are the new world of tomorrow


Your only limit is to touch the sky.

Very touching. My hope is that I have taught my children well enough to pass these things along to the next generation. It is a great challenge these days to relay these things on. Great writing. Karen
