Parents, Love Your Children

"Love Your Children"

Our children are so very precious to us
They bring us so much joy and happiness.
When they were first born, they were so small
We couldn't throw them around like a baseball.

We get up and change and feed them at night.
It is so sweet to look into their eyes so bright.
They grow from year to year--They are so sweet,
We feed them and put shoes on their feet.

So many things happen we laugh, sometimes we cry.
They might not do everything right, but we did try.
We should teach them to read and write,
Teach them to always treat people right and to be polite.

They are our children no matter how old they are,
No matter what state they live in, no matter how far.
We would like to keep our children close, but when
they are grown they move so far we wish
they would come home.

They might write or call now and then, but
We do hope they realize we are their best friends.
No matter what they do, our love is always there,
And know that we taught them right from wrong.
Hope they realize where they belong, and to
Remember to pray, for that is the right way.

A family who pray's together stays together.

Train up a child in the way he should go,
and when he is old, he will not turn from it.
- Proverbs 22:6 King James Version

"I tell you the truth, unless you change and
become like little children, you will
never enter the kingdom of heaven.
Therefore, whoever humbles himself like this
child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven."

Matthew 8:3-4
