Take Your Son Fishing

Take your son fishing, While he's still dreaming, still wishing If you wait until it's too late, For when he's too old to do what he's told, You'll fail to make an impression. Take tea with your daughter, Day and night, Tell her you love her, And treat her right, For when you grow old,she won't have to be told, To take care of you in your twilight.

Thank you for sharing this important message that contains such great wisdom about family interaction and values. It reminds me of "Cats in the Cradle" by Harry Chapin - emphasizing the need to spend quality time with our loved ones especially our children when they're most impressionable! Beautifully done! Best wishes. Pandita
