Child of this land

By Rubee

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

A CHILD OF THIS LAND Mothers teach your children Please, please do not be sad You were born a native A child of this land Now some will try to sway you Some will make you feel so bad That you were born a native A child of this land I know there was a time But my child things have changed We were once proud people Til our lives were rearranged Please don't be discouraged For we can be again You were born a native A child of this land Mothers teach your sons That they can still be strong And when this world seems bitter They will get along For no matter what some people say It doesn't make it right You're a child of this land And we must all unite Mothers teach your sons An answer can be found But not in a bottle Or lying neath the ground Teach him that proud and tall Is the way that he must stand For he is a native son A child of this land Mothers teach your children There are no rules for race You are no worse or better By the color of your face We are all God's children And together we must stand For we're all sons and daughters Children of God's land My child please remember And try to understand Life isn't always easy But you're a child of this land Written January 1st, 1989 © on Jan 25 2002 01:32 AM PST   0 • 12
