They're the twinkling lights
That brighten hearts and homes.
They're the cute litter that glitters
That comes sooner or later.
They slide down from the womb
Bearing blessings you take to the tomb.
Full of warmth, cuddles and embraces.
Placing smiles on all faces
They're the best gift from God
Delivered through the couriers of love
Sent to turn a house into a home
And a couple to a family.
They're the beautiful buds that sprout
Blooming, to make a garden
Filled with different bright flowers
That makes the world a pretty sight.
They're children.
The future of any nation.
So, let's nurture them with education
And garnish them with love and affection.
