Are children really so childish Aren't they only just discovering what they wish They should be protected from all their fears And not have to shed so many tears They should be able to let their imaginations run wild Without their innocence ever being defiled They should be able to be free Not to worry about the waves of the deep blue sea Can't we all just protect them so nothing can ever hurt them
"Our children are our greatest treasure. They are our future. Those who abuse them tear at the fabric of our society and weaken our nation." - Nelson Mandela (22 November 1997)
