Children

Cherish these gifts from God. Care for them. Be their guide. Clarify truths for them. Comfort them when they cry. Correct them when they're wrong. Cheer them on; lift them up. Celebrate life with them. written August 23, 2016 entered in Brian Strand's Contest 242 (any topic or form, 12-line max) on November 26, 2016
