In a poem attributed to Archbishop Oscar Romero, entitled “Prophets of a Future Not Our Own,” he states:
“It helps, now and then, to step back and take the long view. We accomplish in our lifetime only a tiny fraction of the magnificent enterprise that is God’s work. Nothing we do is complete,

Kahlil Gibran, writes the following poem On Children:
Your children are not your children.

Caused feelings of unsurety.
“What will tomorrow bring?”
“Is there hope for this dark time?”
