A Poem On Children's Day Celebrations In India,2017 Poem by Dr John Celes

What children need are love and care,
Attention night and day;
Nourishing food, clean water, air,
And time to learn, sleep, play.

What children need is soothing words,
Good example from all;
They love to play with swings, watch birds,
And buy toys from the mall.

What children do is watch others,
And try to copy them;
Their teachers first are their mothers,
Who make them like a gem.

What children hate is punishment,
And scolding for faults small;
They love to get encouragement,
Comforted when they fall.

What children want is gifts all kinds,
And praising to the skies;
God made them with innocent minds,
To smile and laugh, be nice.

What children need is future great,
A friendlier world to live;
Let's work to change our children's fate,
And happier lives, do give.

Happy Children's Day to all kids in India!
Dedicated by Indian Poet Dr.Prof.A.Celestine Raj Manohar MD(KFMSR CBE)
