For My Children

The world is changing, my son and my daughters
A lot for the worse, but much for the better
Hope whispers, love beckons, joy calls all around
Amidst all the raucous and clamoring sounds
Listen for truth, cling to it, live it!
There's only one Source, simply believe it
Be grateful for all of this life’s simple things
Treasure each breath and the life that it brings
Don’t let fear overtake you, when darkness is looming
Love grows each moment, even now find it blooming
Though the world may be changing, the Word is yet true
The Maker still holds it, and He’s holding you, too
