Thought everyone might like this.

My kids love Raffi and so do I, another reason I love C-A-N-A-D-A.



This is a little thing he wrote, I love it:

:

A Covenant for Sustaining Children / by Raffi



We find these joys to be self-evident:

That all children are created whole, endowed with innate

intelligence, with dignity and wonder, worthy of respect.



The embodiment of life, liberty and happiness,

Children are original blessings,

Here to learn their own song.



Every girl and boy is entitiled

To love, to dream and belong to a loving "village."

And to pursue a life of purpose.



We affirm our duty to nourish and nurture the young,

To honor their caring ideals and the heart of being human.



To recognize the early years as the foundation of life,

and to cherish the contribution of young children to human evolution.



We commit ourselves to peaceful ways

And vow to keep from harm or neglect

These, our most vulnerable citizens.



As guardians of their prosperity

We honor the bountiful Earth whose diversity sustains us.
