The Moment that Sparked a Movement:

A Visit to the Zoo

 

Take the Children to the Zoo

Poem | By Shahri Naghshineh, July 2024

 

For all those grandparents who care for grandchildren,

we are the fortunate one to have children and grandchildren.

Inspired by watching a grandchild we love,

play, discover and grow.

Let’s make this world a better place for all children.

We were all children not so long ago.

Let’s love and care for all children.

You know, a child loved is a child saved.

Young are hearts that beat in love for children.

There is peace when you are loved.

Blessed are those who have grandchildren

they can take to the zoo.

We can make this world a better place for every child.

Broken lonely children hearts can be mended.

Let them have hope for a better future,

let them know they are loved and they belong.

Show them love and commitment.

There is no place for fear, hunger and despair.

Let the children play,

let yourself be loved by loving children.

Not long ago, we were all children.

We are the fortunate ones to have grandchildren.

Let the children be safe and loved,

take the children to the zoo.
