    Through Their Eyes...

    Their eyes are so trusting…

    The way they look up to you

    All they want is your approval

     Unconditional love too

    Through their eyes

    They are always taking everything in

    It is true that children learn what they live

    Their childhood ingrained into them

    Influencing their adult lives to come

    Which means we really need to be

    The best examples from which they will learn by

    They will emulate you and me

     Give them the skills

    They will need to make it through

    So when they go out on their own they will know just what to do

    We need to take the time to really see

    The special part of every child

    Their individuality

    Nurture them…they grow so fast

    For their childhood will not last

    When they look back

    You will want them to remember

    Precious childhood memories forever

    Have hope for their future

     Love them and guide them through

    Show them the right path

    Cherish every moment you have with them too

    This is so sweet! So many people take childhood for granted. It's a magical time that's over before we know it! Children become what they learn from those around them. I really like this one. :)

    Shannie I think this should be a prerequisite to pregnancy and childbirth! Great job! I think it's a shame that we "test" for a driver's license, but ANYONE can be a parent. As we know from watching the news, so many children are mistreated or left to fend for themselves, what are we doing as adults to raise respectable little people? I love that you gave a big fluffy cloud of info in a soft way! Great job friend! Saylar

    SO very true! Sometimes you forget they are right there with their little ears and eyes. And their little sponge like brains. One day, you ask them why they did something that you think they should not have done and hear them say "You do it" or hear them say something they should not say and they let you know right away, " You say it."

    Oh, how true this is. Train up a child in the way they should go and when they are old they will not depart from it. I really liked this poem. Great job.

    I believe this to be true. Thanks

    The true philosopher and the true poet are one, and a beauty, which is truth, and a truth, which is beauty, is the aim of both.

    Ralph Waldo Emerson, American Poet (1803-1882)
