In Time to Come
By Bessie Gladding
Little boy, your rice bowl stands
For all the bowls in children’s hands
In all our near and distant lands.
Bowls that should be heaped up high
With varied foods these lands supply
To make boys strong and bright of eye.
In time man’s heart will have its way,
And war will go, and peace will stay
Where healthy children romp and play.
(1955)
