From the Movie Sling Blade

In the movie sling blade
A character was made
This person represents
Souls on this earth who live in torment

Little ones who can't defend
Little ones who don't understand
Little ones who at your mercy 
Can receive love or cursing

Which do you choose to give your child
Do you love and encourage with each mile
Or do you criticize 
Causing psychological crushing to their eyes
