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?

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....
