Children Are Like a Bank

Children are like a bank in which we store
Faith in the future and all human lore,
The ideas and ideals of our race.
In the bright wonder of an upturned face,
We see the whole hope of man's betterment.
Children are savings but cannot be spent.
It is a joy to hold the helpless, small
Armful that is a babe, yet best of all
In this: to give our children back again
To life,  grown up, young women and young
men.
Life lets us have our children as a loan.
Ours to enjoy and guard but not to own,
To increase like our talents, not to hoard
.
Children are an investment of the Lord.
