Listen To Your Children Poem by MELVIN BANGGOLLAY

LISTEN TO YOUR CHILDREN
Melvin Banggollay



Most, if not all parents, love their children
That even in the womb they shared together
To give all their love and care even forgotten,
To offer their lives to work all days forever.
only to behold a future so bright for their children
With a tender heart to make good token.

But sometimes we tend to be over protective
As a way of showing our great loving care
That sometimes turned them truly inattentive,
Weak, hard headed, spoiled brat and unfair
For they feel we can do everything superlative
That they don't need to learn life's not fair.

Listen to the voices and heart of your children
Try to understand their feelings as man
With right, dignity and pride of their own
That must be respected with all charm
That must be honored with all our wisdom
Embroidered with freedom to live by their own.
