The Child's Name is Today


We are guilty of many faults and  errors, 
but our worst crime is abandoning the children, neglecting the fountain of life. 
 Many things we need can wait. 
The child cannot.  
Right now is the time his bones are being formed, 
his blood is being made and his senses are being developed. 
 To him we cannot answer "Tomorrow".  
His name is "Today".

Gabriele Mistral - Chile
