Parents, tend thou to thy children with care; <br />Children are now more precious than before; <br />Like diamond brooch in necklaces, they are; <br />The family has become nuclear to core. <br /> <br />These are the days of small a family norm; <br />Accidents kill more than diseases can; <br />Pampered, unloved remain children in form; <br />Spare not the rod and spoil not child, O man. <br /> <br />What is the use of all thy hard-earned wealth? <br />Teach them the sense of values in their life; <br />Important is their body’s/ mind’s/ soul’s health; <br />Their problems own, they must face that are rife. <br /> <br />Excessive love will spoil its good purpose; <br />Too much of shade too makes a plant’s growth worse.<br /><br />Dr John Celes<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sonnet-parents-neglect-not-thy-children/
