More Than Meets the Eye

Don't blame the bearer of bad news - A gun doesn't kill by itself or a knife, Nor a violent video game or hostile views; An evil act is but wrought by a mind's strife. When you nurture a seedling or stunt its growth, You can foretell it'll be a vine or an oak tree, So is with the mind of a child as he grows forth - Will he be hateful or inherit his life stress-free. There are spiritual laws that govern with the same certainty as the physical laws; Faith, trust in God, and love are not ancient myth But values that shape the character sans flaws. Like putty, wax, dough or a lump of clay, Mold the child right lest another soul he slay!
