And so much to be learned from the children
 If only we were opened to it
 And so much to be heard from the children
 If only we opened our ears
 And so much to be felt from the children
 Should we deem to open our hearts
 The magic that is given them
 Is the magic of the Universe
 Taken away in a selfish moment by those who cannot comprehend
 This alone has caused us to devolve
 We must ever start from scratch
 That which has been taken away, hidden from our view
 From ignorance comes bliss? I think not
 And so we begin again
 At various stages in our life
 Depending on our circumstance and experience
 Some as teenagers, some as adults, and some as we succumb to death
 REBIRTH will come, the UNVEILING will come…but maybe it would be sooner, than later, 
 If only we were OPENED to it, opened our EARS, opened our HEARTS to the CHILDREN.
