Wisdom hasn't erred
Save for men that failed
Train lest they stray
Afar from the way
But who'll firmly say
What way holds sway?
In fashion as he that is idle
Must rejoice with the little
In vain you will blame
When indeed you fail to train
Don't the child face the cain
Alike, in sun and in rain?
Age should speak
But men now weak
While still not at the peak
Of the wisdom they seek
Who then will firmly say
What way holds sway?
El Nirvana
The agony of our days is that we're giving our children nothing as we're expecting much from them. "Train up a child in the way he should go and he'll not depart from it not at any time" is ageless and unfailing. The truth is, we don't train adequately probably because we didn't learn enough before we retire. Tragically, we're quick to blame even when we didn't train....
