Love the Children041218© TonyFallon
The greatest gift bestowed must be childbirth
For the quickly passing years we are on this earth
Yet it’s no wonder some children turn out bad
Often they have parents are no more than a cad
If people don’t agree there’s no need to trample
on children’s rights. Grow up and lead by example
Children need your strength for a foundation
They don’t need an immature demonstration
Do you show you are the boss when you swear?
Do you show your authority by pulling a child’s hair?
Do you still believe in the infallibility of the rod?
Do you instill in them the fear of authority and God?
When they want to go to play do you say “just study”?
When the real reason is you’re watching Judge Judy
You have been entrusted with the finest seeds
You can turn them into beautiful flowers or ugly weeds
You can send them out in the world self confident or scared
They can be well adjusted and positive or totally unprepared
They must be taught to be confident and to trust
Their hopes and dreams fulfilled instead of crushed
Being a parent is not some glamorous job it’s a vocation
And you’ve signed up to cultivate the next generation
There were no directions and it came without apprenticeship
It’s like you’re out on the ocean and you can’t abandon ship
