Teaching a child

I chanced to see this lovely poem
by an unknown author and wish to share with you.
I hope you like it for its beauty and the message

How shall we teach
A child to reach
Beyond himself
And touch the stars
We who stooped so much?

How shall we tell
A child to dwell
With honour, live and die
For Truth
We who have lived a lie?

 How shall we say
To him' the way
Of life is through the gate
Of Love'
We, who have learned to hate?

How shall we dare
to teach him Prayer
and turn him toward the way
Of faith
We who no longer pray?
