How nice to see one's children win applause? <br />What joy when children perform truly great? <br />How lovely seeing them live for a cause! <br />What thrill to see them get rewards till date. <br /> <br />The joy of parents is really more, <br />When children win a trophy, shield in race; <br />When people clap their hands and them adore; <br />And laughter, smiles adorn their weary face. <br /> <br />Yes, children are the apple of their eyes; <br />To see them well is parents' only aim; <br />So, parents slog all life to make them wise; <br />Their minds are filled with joy when they get fame. <br /> <br /> Is there a better wealth than children's feat? <br /> A plant is proud to bear its golden wheat.<br /><br />Dr John Celes<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sonnet-our-children-is-our-true-wealth/
