Sonnet: Parents, Neglect Not Thy Children

Parents, tend thou to thy children with care; Children are now more precious than before; Like diamond brooch in necklaces, they are; The family has become nuclear to core. These are the days of small a family norm; Accidents kill more than diseases can; Pampered, unloved remain children in form; Spare not the rod and spoil not child, O man. What is the use of all thy hard-earned wealth? Teach them the sense of values in their life; Important is their body’s/ mind’s/ soul’s health; Their problems own, they must face that are rife. Excessive love will spoil its good purpose; Too much of shade too makes a plant’s growth worse.
