Children Are Precious

Children are Precious Children are precious They are gifts from God above We must nurture them And shower them with love. Children need guidance, support, discipline and God’s grace When they are younger, we must help them tie their shoelace. We must teach them what’s right and what’s wrong We must watch their shows with them and listen to their songs. We have to make sure that they’re on the right track We have to make sure they have food on their table and clothes on their backs. We must provide for their physical needs and their emotional needs too We must often praise them and spend time with them And we must teach them that when it comes to serving God and reaching goals They should always stay true.

I loved the first 4 lines in this poem...:D This reminds me of my older sister's baby, Kalona (my first niece). You have a strong belief towards God and I too. By the way, great poem and I'm looking forward to reading more of your poems.

I wrote this poem because children are gifts from God, but they are often treated like burdens to parents,siblings, and society as a whole. When it comes to raising children or working with someone else's children, the above stanzas should serve as guildeline as to what children need, which keepping in mind, what children need most most is to have adults love them and show them that they love them and that they can be easy to talk to when necessary.
