What our children eat today will determine whether they are active adults with no deficiencies or excesses in the future
We pray for our fathers, pray for our mothers, wishing our families well
We sing songs for the wishing, of those who are kissing but not for the missing
So this one’s for all the lost children, wishing them well and wishing them home.”
‘The lost Children’ from Michael Jackson’s Album Titled Invincible.
