Should you be born
at the turn of the
21st century,
there are prizes that
await you,
and all those related to you!
Such excitement,
such thrill!
And yet,
there can be no
greater prize
my child of the new millennium
than to be born with
the gift of loving,
caring and sharing!

Be a child of the Universe,
retain that childish
innocence, trusting
confidence and faith
most babes are
born with
and rapidly
unlearn
as they grow up
into adults!

Be a child of nature,
learn to love nature
for you are an
integral part of it.
Respect and cherish
every living thing
as nature intended!

Be a child of love,
be tolerant, never
hate or wish to destroy,
be kinder than necessary
and treat people as
gently as you would
like to be treated.

Finally, be a child of happiness
spread a little sunshine
and cheer
wherever you go.
Be all this and more
my child
and happy times will naturally
follow.
