Children are a gift
Straight from the Lord's hand
But you must to them give time
And teach them to how to "stand"

A child left to himself
Will bring shame to his mother
A child not taught of the word
Will soon become a burden

Withholding correction
is a dangerous deed
The rod of correction
Every child needs

Foolishness is bound up
In every child's heart
You must get it out
Today you must start!

Plants grown up, are your sons
The Psalmist said
The water of the Word
they must be fed

And your daughters are likened
Unto a polished cornerstone
But you must teach them God's love
And not leave them on their own

Prov 30:17
The eye that mocketh at his father, and despiseth to obey his mother, the ravens of the valley shall pick it out, and the young eagles shall eat it.
