Poem: For every child

For every child that dares to dream
and every spark of curiosity within

For their bold endeavors in jest
and that one kid’s flying quest

Persist your passion to build their nest
for the world rumbles them in unrest

Swivel their failings with your empathy
and rivet their pursuits like a fall under gravity

A future needs to be built,
one without ethical guilt

Go build a world that’s green
And satiate your world within.

Notes: This poem is for Day 3 of the Global Poetry Writing Month. I dedicate it for teachers everywhere, including my friends and teachers, who have been mentoring the world’s future through acts of enabling.
