Lessons For Living

I see you looking at your children,

Wondering what their lives will be.

If you verify some answers

Then their future you might see.

Have you taught them to be truthful?

Have you taught them to be kind?

Have you given them the wisdom

Needed to be color blind?

Have you taught them to be caring

For those handicapped some way?

Do you read to them at bedtime?

Have you taught them how to pray?

I hope your answer is affirmative,

For then I know that you will see

A future filled with happiness

Like it's supposed to be.
