A newborn baby learns to laugh
How wonderful the sight
We show them love
We show them hate
We teach them wrong and right.

These children we are blessed to teach
Believe our words are truth
We want them smart
We want them strong
We minimize their youth.

In ignorance to what is real
Conditioned by our greed
Our anger grows
Outwardly shows
Just what our kids don't need.

How honorable the parents
That aren't afraid to try
To show their love
Devoid of hate
To marvel at the sky.

In search of truth I soon found out
The ultimate endeavour
Is in your heart
For all to know
That truth was here forever.

To teach that truth is in your heart
Your heart was made for giving
Though what you seek
May not be found
The quest makes life worth living.
