Children of Convenience

It is not how they come into the world It's how they turn out Raising responsible, great achievers Is what good parenting is all about No one wants a lazy child Playing video games all the day long They want a well rounded sports minded Player, who knows how to fit in, belong ....but, only, as a leader The losers can be followers But a child who swells a parents heart Is the dreamer, visionary Who works hard to set himself apart Too many average Joe's out there Living week by week No savings or long term goals Just enough earnings to seal the leaks ...in holey pockets Fame isn't as important As a name that is respected and known And a nice big farm is needed To display all the great seeds that have been sown In fertile, top of the line ground No barren land to furrow in vain Some miracle grow is nice To maximize the gain ...without killing self If you do everything right Grandchildren will play in your plantation yard While you swing on the front porch With the absolute proof, you worked hard Making a life of ease and peace Health, wealth and family to crown your head Never once considering The children are only playing nice, til you're dead ....and they can get their reward Written by Trudy Schrader on 07-04-2019
