A Heart For Children

One hundred years from now
It will not matter
What kind of car I drove,
What kind of house I lived in,
How much I had in the bank
Nor what my clothes looked like.

One hundred years from now
It will not matter
what kind of school I attended,
what kind of typewriter I used,
How large or small my church,
But the world may be
...a little better because...
I was important in the
life of a child.
