THE WORTH OF A CHILD

“The Worth of a Child”

 

 

Every child

Should have a future

Every child

Should have hope

Every child

Should have love

 

Stop the abuse

It can’t be tolerated

There are no excuses

In destroying

The life of a child

 

A child needs trust

A child needs care

A child needs to know

That in his/her welfare

We do share

 

A child needs hope

A child needs love

A child needs to know

That about them

We do care

 

Our future

Is in our children

Our hope

Is in our children

 

We need to let them know

That their lives are priceless

That is

That is

That is

THAT IS THE WORTH OF A CHILD
