Poem: Little One's by SP Shepard

little ones
do you know
that you are the descendants of 
the Kings & Queens of Africa

little ones
do you know
that your ancestors were
musicians and artists
farmers and herdsmen
scientist, healers, and scholars
architects and builders

little ones
do you know
that in this new land
you are still
a wonder to behold

little ones
do you know
that you are more
precious to us
than gold

little ones
grow, grow, grow

in love
in peace
in wisdom
little ones know

that you are love



*I copied this poem in it's entirely from An Activity Book For African American Families, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services National Institutes of Health.
