We Must Look to the Children for Our Heroes

Who will they be, the children who will save our world

The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together, and a little child shall lead them.

Isaiah 11:6, King James Version

We are frightened.
We do not know what to do,
How to repair the damage,
How to restore the world.

The children say
Do not be afraid, Mother,
Do not be afraid, Father.
We are here.

It will be our story,
To rebuild the destruction,
To mend your harm,
To build a new world.

The creatures and all the land
Will say
Welcome children,
We have been waiting for you.
