If a child sees abuse in any form - <br />They will become abusers in any form; <br />If a child sees love; <br />They become lovers and romantics at heart <br /> <br />If a child sees loyalty and trust; <br />They know how to be loyal and trustworthy. <br />If a child sees hatred to all things and humans <br />They will live without love and kindness. <br /> <br />If a child knows encouragement and praise; <br />They will show encouragement and praise to all. <br />If a child sees peace and happiness; <br />They will show love and happiness to all mankind. <br /> <br />If a child sees violence; <br />They learn to be violent to anything and everything. <br />If a child sees bullying at home as a victim; <br />They become a criminal to satisfy the hunger. <br /> <br /> If a child sees charity; <br />They learn to show charity to others. <br />If a child sees you help others in need; <br />They become helpers to all in need. <br /> <br />If a child learns how to be raciest in all forms of the word; <br />They WILL learn the true meaning of racism and hatred – <br />Which shows non of the virtues; <br />That we need to live with to stop; <br />All the kinds of EVIL in this world today. <br /> <br />If a child sees all the virtues that are out there in the world today; <br />They will show these virtues to all mankind and no matter who the person is.<br /><br />Cay Thorne<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/what-we-teach-our-children-by-cay-thorne/
