Ridgerunner's blog: "someone like you"

here is a poem and you might be able to connect 
little ways to teach a child and their hearts direct
share with them hugs and smiles with lots of love
teach them to be kind and that there is God above
show them through yourself , to always help others
that everyone upon this earth are sisters and brothers
don't be afraid to punish them, to teach right from wrong
it may keep them from prison and places they don't belong
be loving but be stern , in the end it's for their own good
this teaches respect and most will act just like they should
know you can't always be there to protect them from harm
know we don't always see the signs or hear the silent alarm
as they get older they may get lost and some get off track
remind them of the love you shared , show you want it back
now this doesn't always work but it's worth all the trying
nothing hurts like a parent and a child's relationship dying
