It is through the eyes of children 
That your actions will be met 
Remember what you give in life 
More often, you will get 
 
Don’t bring them up with violence 
Don’t punish them with pain 
If you educate with love and care 
They’ll  reward you time again. 
 
I’ve not become a dad yet 
I hope some day I do 
I’m not one to be greedy 
Just provide me one or two 
 
I want to be the one who 
They come to for advice 
Don’t shout and ball in anger 
Its better to be nice. 
 
So think next time they do wrong 
Don’t simply raise your hand 
To the innocence before you 
And with you they will stand
