Today's child is told,
"Go to school then work 'til you're old."

Today's parent is given,
Technological wonders, to prevent them from living.

My child instead,
Will grow up with a brain in his head.
For I as a parent will not
allow society to make my mind and spirit rot.

I will teach my children of Love and Respect,
Of and for God, and all people, no matter what tongue nor sect.

They will know of the Lamb who was slain,
and the Love that poured forth, so rich, none could explain.

My child will be told,
"This life is a precious gift that must be pure and true,
though fear not the times of filth and lies,
for through the blood of our savior, Jesus Christ,
eternally, you shall walk on streets of gold."
