Doris June Fields - God Keep Children Free

As I watch children at play.
So happy and gay.
So full of love and fun.
Some day so very soon will they hate?
Will this be their fate?
As, they grow older, will they hate
other's?
Or will they love as sisters,and brothers?
Oh, God, please keep their hearts
pure and free.
May every word they speak be full
of love because of thee.

Doris June Fields
