You may teach your children to become successful
They will take your advice, but choose not to listen
You can ask your children to be kind
They will be pleasant to you, but not give you their time

You can ask your children to love you
They will love you, but not tell you the truth
You can ask your children to thank you
They will be thankful, but not grateful

You can ask your children to be a good human being
They will baulk to accept such ambiguity
You can ask your children not to miss you
They will be regretful of all their choices, despite their victory
Hope you like it.
