Share With Your Child Poem by Dwayne Banks

When a child is born, help light their way
coming out of darkness, show a sunny day
When rain clouds cluster, threatening rain
be nice to your child, showing no pain
Let them know, they are astounding
pitter-patt is better than a heart over-pounding
Spread the good you shared when you were a child
Mom and Dad bickered, though to you they were mild
Remember and recount the way you were treated
stick with the good, not the over-heated
Never forget that our children are defenseless
serve and protect them, none of the senseless
Adhere to the good around all little souls
place their favorite cereals in their favorite bowls
Say that you love them as much as you can
those caring words in your vocabulary, do not ban
Teach little children the good in the world
try as you may, don't become unfurrled
Allow the experience of the Christian way
have them say a prayer, to start off their day
They will ask questions, answer as you may
be with them at night, as they kneel to pray
