Sonnet: God, Take Care Of Our Children Please! Poem by Dr John Celes

We raised our children better than we were!
We loved them, gave them life, we couldn't afford'
They enjoyed luxury and better care;
We reared them as per tradition and Word.

Our children love us but have turned selfish;
We blame the modern world and temptations;
‘Our children must be good and smart' - our wish!
But they have fewer friends and relations!

Yet, demons trouble homes and workplaces;
Poor parents pray but children disobey;
They wear a mask and make such weird faces;
Our Savior Christ must keep devils at bay.

Take care of our dear children Lord, we pray!
Their toil must realize dreams and D-day!
