“Every village should help bring up the child”



“Inside every single child there is an unread book
Lots of exciting chapters for all the world to read
Wonderful memories to be shared in years to come
Not like a web page or a forgotten sound byte
We cannot rewrite the opening chapters into our children’s hearts
But we can help beyond the early years all the way up to their teens”


Tell me what sort of book are you…
Is your cover shiny or blue
Is it in good nick for its age
And is there a missing page
I would like to read all there is to read about you
So tell me what kind of book are you…

Tell me what sort of book are you
Does your title ring true
Do I have to look high up to find you on the shelf
Or get down on my knees and crawl on the ground
Fiction, romance, history or art
So tell me what kind of book are you…

Tell me what kind of book are you…
Will I get lost in your words
Absorb every untouched page
Are you a novel or a volume
When I reach the end will I rush to start all over again
So tell me what kind of book are you…


So you may not become a 15min celebrity
But that does not matter much to me
As long as you bring a smile into the world
You are the best book I could ever read


Tell me what sort of book are you…
You are so special unique there will never be two
Will you be an actor, a doctor, a lawyer, a nurse
Or a leader of people, a twinkle star in the night
We are waiting to read all there is to read about you
So tell us what kind of book are you…


“Just cos we’re live in a first world country, we think we are the best
So much pressure on dads & mums & kids to have everything that we don’t even need
But we forgot that, every village should help bring up the child
In the so called 3rd world countries, we do not see the children running wild
So let us not forget that every village needs to help bring up the child…”
