I wish to write, I wish to read,

I wish to know, all I can be. 

My hope is plain, to plant a seed 

To watch it grow, and learn it’s free. 

To see the earth, from east to west. 

To have no fear, and not be wrecked 

When trials come to get my best. 

I’ll use them well and keep them checked.

But mother first, is what I am 

If they know love, then they know health. 

May they be meek, seek first the Lamb

No wanton greed or thirst for wealth.

But if they fail, cause me to bleed

They’d still have been, all that I need.
