Poem: Children

Children are a joy to have,

but expensive to raise.

As babies, their innocence

is to begrudge.

When they’re toddlers,

their activity

ignites hysteria.

The older they get,

the more challenging

they become.

Not a day goes by

without drama.

Children

are our future.

They’re gifts from God.

We’re to love and protect them,

teach and guide them,

and honor and respect them.
