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

I think there is no more important calling in the universe, so this one hit me.

Wise advice indeed, Gershon. Caring for a child is one of life's most important tasks, and requires complete committment. Well done! :)

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
