Children are what keep life up to par
Not where their from or who they are
But because their the future to carry on
They need guidance and love to be show
If their yours your responsible you see
Step up to the plate and teach them to be
Good people with love of right and wrong
If you do not they will not belong
Our children’s future is out there for all
Make them strong to answer the call
Be there with them through think and thin
You choose which cycle they will begin
My parents did good for what I can tell
If yours did not then break the spell
I have no kids to teach you see
But several are there and think of me
Not because I’m good or perfect you see
Because I’m the same with consistency
They do what I ask not out of fear
Because they love and want me near
So take your time and teach what’s right
Before they are gone and out of sight
They will respond if you ask them to do
Live your life right and teach them too
