Caren Krutsinger Poet Free verse

Raise Your Child

Raise your child 
To be brave and confident
Encourage them to live their truth

Raise your child to think
To allow ideas to infiltrate their dreams
Entice them to be their best self

Raise your child to be kind
To listen to others, to expect positivity
Give them the tools they need to succeed

Gershon Wolf February 23, 2020 at 12:18 AM Raise and elevate. How about this for an interesting observation: 'Woe to the person who doesn't realize his faults. Woe and more woe to the person who doesn't realize his strengths and potential!' Time to elevate! :) Gershon

Quoth Theraven February 22, 2020 at 12:51 PM Caren, I wish all parents could read this poem. Although nothing is simple and there's still no operator's manual for being a parent. Love your poem 'Raise Your Child'. Important to love your children. -Richard Caren Krutsinger February 22, 2020 at 10:08 PM Thank you so much Richard.
