Truer to haste
Found in a child's hand
See the more, make fate a ways
With some's and futures in love, with can

Penny saved, a penny earned
Heat from the table of conscience
Has and done for, the tooth of privilege learned
To take advantage of a need, that is ours for sense

Basis in black
Is a whole of demand, the nature of life?
True to adding how, we see the words we lack
In the end, all things considered, communication is all and nigh

Light in the star's
Telling the world to be, the simplicity of emissary's
Going and coming in the name of purpose, by far
The tale told with might, the canny and the just, fairing

Special in need, but living in the sound
Of assumption, the toil of compliance
To acquire the same, of else in a row of heed, around
The tentative nature we know can, come to honor reliance

Who is this child, and what does immediacy mean?
Lore in the vastness of commitment, the turn of liberty
Into a capable and knowing ask, of when to glean
The role of adulthood, where a sign of the time's, was integrity
