Poetry: Handle with care
Handle with care your children dear
Teach them through example and not fear
Train them to love with a gentle hand
Do not strike flesh during a reprimand
For children are a precious commodity
They must live in the adult sense of reality
Protect them with all of your might

If you care what is to become of this world you see
Then you must care about the children. the heirs of humanity
Leave them something behind to live on
Before God's green wonders are gone

I see, I feel, I react,
I live and thrive,
upon contact.
I fear
