Your sons and daughters are not yours alone, Bring them to know Me before they are grown. Provide for their needs and know as you do, That I will provide for each one of you. Live by my Word, in love and in fear, So you're living a message that children can hear. I delighted in sharing creation with you, Help your children appreciate loveliness, too. And respect them, for each is unique by design, Welcome their specialness, help them to shine. Cultivate character, loyalty, truth Lessons in living to carve in their youth. Take time to listen, to laugh and to play; When your children have grown, the memories will stay. Teach them to talk to Me often in prayer; I want them to trust that I'll always be there. I am here for you too, remember to ask, And I will equip you for this Holy task. These are My loved ones, thus it shall be As you do unto them so you do unto Me.
