As I watch my children sleep,
I see their dreams unfold.
They see their spirits rise unceasing,
To the days of old
Where planets danced their sacred dance
And lives began anew
And as they watched the time unfold,
New grace within them grew
And then one day they left their home
To come to live on earth
With families they chose to hold
With families knew their worth
At times they see what we cannot
The future they possess
And with each passing day we see
Their growth it does progress
What is it their minds eye sees?
These children born this time,
As I look in them I do see
The spirit within them shine
Perhaps, yes one day we will learn
Just what they know inside
The secrets of the universe
Nevermore to hide
And with our understanding see
These spirits train us all
To live our lives and notwithstanding
We may learn the call
The universe it beckons them
To teach us everyone
The love which guides them every day
They heed the spirit one
With wisdom in their eyes they know
Just what it is to be
A part life, the lives of all
Throughout infinity
So let us all be every day
Desire within us yearn
To teach to ponder and to play
Let all within us learn
For the children in their hands possess
More knowledge than is found
In any school or edifice
That sets on solid ground
May we all seek the knowledge
May we all seek the truth
Let child be our college
With child we find our youth
