Be at peace, my little child, as you slumber through the night, While the world spins around you full of war and hate and strife. May your dreams be full of laughter, and of beauty, love & hope, May you share your kindness always to help all others cope. Will they learn a lesson from you, in your innocence so rare? Can the dictator learn peace, and our "enemies" to care? May the world be blessed, my child with armies just like you With soldiers who will stand for what is good & true. To teach of peace in war-time, to lend a helping hand, To practice brotherly love in this, and every land. The Golden Rule, my sweet child is the only law we need. "Do unto others" in kindness, the only way we can succeed. And may you wake, my precious child to a future bright and new Where all mankind may live in peace, My child, it starts with you.
