Dear child, think of your


Dear child, think of your future,

And better yet, that of others.

It is of greater greater importance

Than that which you shall perceive.

So often is it that we forget,

Or choose not to remember

That our future is that which

Can solely rely upon the actions of all,

Particularly those that care;

Such is why I caution you. 

Therefore, I beseech you now,

Child, precious child,

Think of your future.
