BLOOM
BECOMING LEADERS OF OPEN MENTORSHIP
Children are like flowers
Water them with love
Nourish them with praise
Give them a compliment
Each and every day
Be their sun
When all you see is rain
Protect them from storms
And shelter their pain
Children are like flowers
That blossom everyday
Little pieces of us
And everything we say
