JOSIE'S POEMS

Reflective/Discussion Poems

for Older Children

In the Playground

V I S I O N

Vision

My vision is ‘tomorrow’

    And the hopes I have for you.

My vision is your future

    And the things you wish to do.

 

My vision sees the world ahead

    And the place to which it leads

But today’s the day that you must work

    To meet your future needs.

 

My vision is a caring world

    Where man considers man,

But today is where your world begins

    To look ahead and plan.

 

Will you care for our lovely world –

    Yes, starting from today?

For starting from this point in time

    There’s no time to delay.

Our Mother Earth is crying out

    In agony and pain,

For often mankind in his greed

    Thinks only of his gain.

 

Each thing you do - yes, hour by hour -

    Is entirely your decision,

But planning for that road ahead 

    Is, for all of us, our vision.
