Reaping

A child is loved and should not want for love nor praise nor joy ....
A child is a precious gift be it a pretty girl or big strong boy ...
Its a new life that you have helped to deliver to the race ...
So keep it warm and feed it hope , the world can be a cruel place..
Protect its innocence and feed its strengths and help to make it grow
In their heart and their mind your influences you are sure to sow ...
just remember that they will wither and struggle if left to fight alone ...
Nourish them and nurture them and encourage the seeds that you have sown ..
Love them always now forever and right throughout their years ..
Accept the happy and the sad times and be happy to wipe the tears!!!!!!!!

Beautiful poem Sally. Pity that nowadays not all mothers/fathers know their proper role as parents. We don't have to look far for negative results. // paul

Yes you reap what you sow and I now have an amazing son who is away at university - I am truly blessed. Lovely poem I really enjoyed the sentiment. Jan xx
