This morning I gazed into the future of the world

Behind the trusting eyes of my little girl

A future filled with hope for the coming year

Behind a small brow furrowed in fear

Of the future. . . and troubled eyes said

Please fix my world while you have the chance

Please don't leave my future up to circumstance

Make sure I have enough fresh water to drink

Clean air to breathe and freedom to think

For myself. . . and my future

Today I saw the future behind thirty pairs of eyes

Thirty young children trusting me with their lives

Assigned to my classroom by chance for a year

Thirty small brows furrowed in fear

Of the future. . . and troubled eyes said

Please fix our world while you have the chance

Please don't leave our future up to circumstance

Make sure we have enough fresh water to drink

Clean air to breathe and feedom to think

For ourselves. . . and our future

Bless the beasts and the children, forbid them not

For the highest price their future has been bought

Please help fix our world while we have the chance

Don't leave our planet's future up to circumstance

Make sure there is enough fresh water to drink

Clean air to breathe and freedom to think

About what matters. . . for the future

Future *

* Inspired by the “reverence for life” philosophy of Albert Schweitzer. Dedicated to Jacques Yves Cousteau, Al Gore, Melissa Etheridge. . . and our future.
