The Love of A Parent!
When a child comes forth
on the day of his birth.
He knows nothing about
this old earth.
It must be taught
right from wrong.
This only comes
from within his home.
His heart is pure
and white as snow.
What he is taught
is all he will know.
Love is the first thing
a child must be shown.
Given all through life
even after he is grown.
You can tell a child
he is loved every day.
But he will never know it
if he is not shown in a special way.
If he is told he is good
he will keep it in his heart.
If he is told he is bad
he will play out the part.
If you yell and scream
at your child all his life.
In return you'll only
receive hate and strife.
Give love and respect
and show him you care.
The same thing you give
you'll be able to share.
Love breeds love
respect breeds the same.
If your child
doesn't show you these
look at the road
from which he came.
