We teach our children our faith because we want them to be good.
——————
We want them to be good, kind, caring and loving
————
We want them to be patriotic
————
We want them to be honest
——-
We do out best to give them the best
————
We teach them that giving is good
—————
Our God gave too
Till the very last drop
—————
How far will our children go
Will they follow our example
Or His
————
Will they speak up against injustice
Like he did
————-
Will they suffer
People’s jeers
Like he did
————
Will they rage in anger
When his house
Is desecrated
———-
Or will they stay
Meek and humble
Like he said
————
To the people
Who were powerless
————
Are we teaching our little ones
What we want
Them to know
————
Are we teaching
Them to rant
Against abortion
And gay rights
————
When the mortal
Sins
———-
Hide within us
We do know
Our conscience pricks
But we prefer
————
To swallow
————-
A
The sugar coated pill
————
Without experiencing
———-
The bitter agony
————
Of our sins
———-
For which He’s still dying
————-
On the hill
———-
Our kids
————
They deserve better
———-
They need to know
———-
Our true God
———-
They need not
————
Rattle off
———
Their prayers
——-
He taught us
———
Only one
———
They need not
Recite the decade
———-
They need not read
————
Deutronomy
Or Numbers
———
What they need
———-
To understand
———-
Is the core
Of His teaching
——-/
It’s very easy
For a child
————
To understand
————
Love your neighbor
As yourself
————
Your neighbor
Is Humanity
————
And the rest
———
Of the Universe
———-
And teach them
———-
Like Him
To give
———-
To the very
Last
——
Drop
