Please, Teach Me

Teach me well the child did say As to its parent they did speak As I want to grow up to be the best I can, So please to me, wont you teach. I want to learn and I want to be taught To be the best that I really can, And when I get older and I am on my own I will thank you, for creating who I am. I don't want to lie and I don't want to cheat And I want everyone to me proud of me An honest and loyal person I wanna be known And I want to be as smart as I can be. I want to be truthful and I want to be trusted To all my family and my friends I want devotion to be my middle name And I want to know nothing of evil and or sin. You are the one that will affect my life The child said to its parent as they spoke Whatever I become, it will be because of you Whether I swear, or drink, or even smoke. And when I get older will I be like you And will I ever have a family of my own Will I be the roll model for my children then Or will I leave them when they are all alone. And when you get older and your hair is gray The child said to its parent that it loved Will I turn out the way I wish I didn't And will you pray for help from GOD above. The child said its prayer as it went to bed And then closed its eyes as it went to sleep Please be the model from which I will learn, they said And please for me, wont you teach. Randy L. McClave
