Poem
Children, our most treasured wealth shouldn’t grow maimed In joyful living and the art of life, they need to be groomed At a young age when they are flexible and pliable A mother’s gentle guidance will help them not to stumble I feel I should extend my guiding hand to teach How to live happy and attain the stature they should reach I would teach my children a dozen and more values To be fair and just in all they do and shine in life like jewels I insist, from the right path they should never waver Also, to speak out their mind without fear or favor They should learn to love their body with all its flaws Keeping fit, but knowing it is internal beauty that glows Train them to ensure personal hygiene, keep things tidy Follow a system, be punctual and in decisions, be steady Inculcate in them a love for their parents, siblings, and the family Treating all men with respect and love, facing criticism calmly Make them diligent in their study, dutiful and punctilious Braving life with its ups and downs, springing back with resilience Train them to accept that life offers a mixed pack of joy and grief And hardly there is time to waste in lamentation, as life is brief Train them to be vigilant not to fall in traps set by predators As, in our world, there are masked assassins and imposters Above all, make them love God, giving the reins of life to His hands Knowing things are never in man’s control, but everything works as He plans Feb.14.2023 12 Things You’d Teach Your Child Sponsor- Matt Caliri
