Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

To Care For a Child

To care for a child
  demands sacrifice
Whatever the need
  to respond in a trice

For those with ambitions
  seeking kudos and noise
Please fill your briefcase
  with businessmen's toys

Alexis Y. February 28, 2021 at 12:51 PM Hi Gershon, I agree, caring for a child his the most important thing in the world. It's not to be taken lightly. Well done:-) Alexis Gershon Wolf February 28, 2021 at 5:44 PM Absolutely not. Wish everyone had your attitude toward babies and children, Alexis. ~ Dreamer

Evelyn Judy Buehler February 27, 2021 at 8:46 PM Wise advice indeed, Gershon. Caring for a child is one of life's most important tasks, and requires complete committment. Well done! :) Gershon Wolf February 28, 2021 at 5:43 PM You've got that right, Evelyn. So many new parents these days don't get it though. They put their own needs ahead of the baby's, a recipe for big trouble. Easy for me to say, I guess. Was I any better in my 20's?... :) gw
