For the love of peace
I teach the children to be kind
For the love of peace
I teach the children to give and share
For the love of peace
I teach the children respect for others
For the love of peace
I teach children to love
For the love of peace
I teach children to forgive
Today I hope for peace in their playrooms
Tomorrow I hope for peace in their schools
Always I hope for peace on earth
And forever, I hope for peace in their hearts.
I teach the children to be kind
For the love of peace
I teach the children to give and share
For the love of peace
I teach the children respect for others
For the love of peace
I teach children to love
For the love of peace
I teach children to forgive
Today I hope for peace in their playrooms
Tomorrow I hope for peace in their schools
Always I hope for peace on earth
And forever, I hope for peace in their hearts.
Written by Ann Kingsley after a day of watching triplets and teaching them about peace.
