Poem Title:
Poem
Teach them the songs of the land. Teach them the rhythm of life. Teach them the strength of the past, That they may appreciate the beauty of the future. Children of today, nations of tomorrow. They have the right to know and believe in the unity of life. Teach them to know that all men and women are not just nor truthful. Let them know that for every mean and selfish people, there are honest, generous and dedicated ones. Teach them the power of the spirit of sportsmanship, to enjoy winning and as well accept losing when it comes. Teach them that a dime earned is to be valued far more than a thousand stolen. Teach them to rejoice in each others successes rather than envy. Teach them to have faith in God and to believe in themselves. Remind them never to forget that they are masterpieces of the Creator, and none can replace the other. Please, don’t forget to teach them that it is more honorable to fail than to cheat, and there is no shame in tears. Teach them the difference between the real world and the world in the pages of magazines, movie screens and television. Teach them the enduring powers of patience and kindness. Teach them the endless powers of love and forgiveness. Expose them to verities of colors of life and remind them to look beyond skin colors to appreciate the blood of life. Teach them the importance of a smile in the dark tunnels of life. Teach them to be simple and truthful to themselves and to keep there distance from drugs. Teach them to be respectful of life and elders that they may be respected. Teach them our mother’s songs; tell them where we are, where we have been, where we are going and they will lead the way.
