Old One about Children

By Walt Perryman

The Bible has many Verses on how we should raise a child,
If we’d read and obeyed them, our world wouldn’t be so wild.

We do have many Godly based children being raised today,
But we have many more, that has never known God’s way!

Many of our children are never taught about God at home.
And so many of those are left alone and are free to roam.

Too many bad parents allow their children to run around wild,
It’s not a schoolteacher’s job to try to fix a bad parent’s child.

I believe all children need boundaries and rules to live by,
Otherwise, most of them will learn how to cheat and lie.

Many children do not have a father living at home with them,
To help their mother enforce Gods rules and their future is dim.

Now don’t get me wrong, there are many good kids too.
All I’m saying is, I don’t believe there are as many of you?

I believe our children are the future of God’s green earth,
And I also believe they need God in their lives from birth.

Our problem is we have had too many Godless generations,
And I believe it is the reason for the fall of many great nations.

Children need fertile soil to grow, as does, Gods beautiful flowers.
And folks, God knows it is not the children’s fault, it is, ours!
