It is through the eyes of children <br />That your actions will be met <br />Remember what you give in life <br />More often, you will get <br /> <br />Don’t bring them up with violence <br />Don’t punish them with pain <br />If you educate with love and care <br />They’ll reward you time again. <br /> <br />I’ve not become a dad yet <br />I hope some day I do <br />I’m not one to be greedy <br />Just provide me one or two <br /> <br />I want to be the one who <br />They come to for advice <br />Don’t shout and ball in anger <br />Its better to be nice. <br /> <br />So think next time they do wrong <br />Don’t simply raise your hand <br />To the innocence before you <br />And with you they will stand<br /><br />Simon Gowen<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/through-the-eyes-of-a-child-8/
