Tell the Children the Truth

tell the children the truth 
never deprive your child 
the truth or else 
he or she will always
grow up to hate you 

guide a child to love 
feed the heart of the 
child with love at young 
tender age 
such child will always
love you forever

bless a child every morning
with sweet words of kindness
he or she will ever never curse 
you 

don't be too nice 
to forget not to warn 
a child against curse words
tech them how to bless 
instead 

we live in a world insane
but we not let our 
generation live same way

so care and remember
the truth don't hurt
no child
