What They Learn


They'll follow in the path you lead,
So choose a path of worth.
For what they see you live today,
Is what they’ll carry forth.
 
The words you speak, they’ll speak someday,
So choose your words with care.
Make them uplifting, words of faith,
And not words of despair.
 
Teach them to walk with head held high,
However rough the road,
By living your life with courage
Despite the heavy load.
 
As you treat others on the way,
With kindness or with pain,
They’ll learn and give it back to you.
Which lessons will remain?
 
So, watch yourself, most carefully,
For they are watching, too,
And they will grow to live their life
As you taught them to do.
 
Proverbs 22:6
Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it.
