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

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
