Train up a child in the way he should go,
And when he is old he will not depart from it.
Proverbs 22:6

Why do we walk, talk, read, sing, pray
And spend precious time patiently
With you? Because, sweet child, someday
The sapling will become a tree
How swift the seed begins to sprout
To crucial pliability
Thus, it takes love’s diligent clout
To train the tendrils of a tree
…the kind and gentle touch, the knife
To prune weak offshoots faithfully
So, you can weather storms of life
When you become a full-grown tree
How brief the shaping season is
How swift the tender sapling grows
Why do we scold, hold, hug and kiss
To make you strong when life's wind blows
