Children Are the Future

Remember our children as they grow, teach them right from wrong. Stand strong and let them know, every day you are there all along. We need so much to teach of love, they need to learn how to care. Help them to reach the stars above, show them how to share. Let them know life at times are hard, but they can learn to take hold. For it is them who holds the card, they must be firm and bold. Teach them to be patient with all, never to hate anything. For when it is our time to fall, it's God who helps to earn wings. So keep in mind they are young now, they only learn from you and I. They should always feel proud and take a bow, reach up to the stars in the sky. The children are the Future, this we really need to understand. If our world is going to be safe and filled with love they can only learn this from us and God. Help them to stand strong, stand up for their rights. TEACH THEM TO LOVE!

Thanks Lindsay, it is so true if people do not teach their children they will not know what to do! Thanks for the comment. Oh sorry for the book I wrote to you but I had to tell you about my detox,LOL.

Thanks very much Dineen. We do need to teach our children much more that just school. it's a big world and they need to know how to survive.
