 Each Generation Plants a Tree by Jack Ellison Each generation plants a tree The next one enjoys the shade Seeds we plant in young people's minds Are engraved and will never fade So choose your path very carefully They're watching your every step You might think they're too distracted Or they think you're old and inept They're always watching how you react Each move that you choose to make Be careful the seeds you sow every day Will grow with them, make no mistake The burden is on us for each generation To guide them and show them the way Map out the route to a happy life Don't let anyone lead them astray There'll be mine fields galore along the way Protect them with words and with deeds They'll love you for caring and taking the time Encourage them to follow your lead © Jack Ellison 2012  Every Mom's Test © Nandita Shailesh Shanbhag You are special; you mean the world to me You are my daughter, a reflection of my entity Every year, as I watch you grow by my side No matter what you do, you are my source of pride The umbilical cord may have been cut but you should know You are still bound to my soul, wherever you go Sometimes I am firm and you may think I am wrong Remember it is easy to give in, but tough to be strong Sometimes I am strict and you may think it is unfair But I correct you only because I love and care I harden my heart and nag, scold and fight To teach you the difference between the wrong and the right For soon, the days will pass swiftly all in a whirl And into a woman will grow my baby girl Tomorrow when you need inner strength above all I hope my values will give you the courage to stand tall I hope that in my teaching you will find tips few Soon when you strive to make your dreams come true At a later date, when the real world you have to face Today's lessons will help you go ahead in the race Some day in the future when a mother you will be From my point of view, the world you will see For your baby then you will do what is best To blend discipline with kindness is every mom's test Source: http://www.familyfriendpoems.com/poem/every-moms-test#ixzz31PbuV0JB Leave 6 Words or Less to Describe Your Mom |
