TRAIN A CHILD
Proverbs 22: 6
As a child grows you teach them to
choose right not wrong,
Guide them each one the best you can
try hard and long,
But sometimes they are rebellious
causing us to worry,
Don’t find good important and they
always seem in a hurry.
Some even break the commandments,
were our teachings in vain?
All we want is the best for them, celestial
glory for all to gain.
Be comforted by the sweet words in the
Book of Proverbs so wise,
Your children may be quite old and grey,
dimming their youthful eyes
Before they remember the truth they knew
and learned as a child.
So do not worry too much if there is a
phase of being wild,
Another thing to remember and should
remember every day,
Agency is given to all men to choose
either the good or bad wa,
But if we plant the seeds of righteousness
in every child’s young heart,
And they will remember the right things
and we will have done our part.
