Children do not know what they will grow up to be
They imagine so many things as they play carefree
No worry in the world as they act out a young life
Learning from mom and dad, with no burdens or strife
With age comes trials as they make difficult life choices
Listening to parents and following otherworldly voices
We who guide ask ourselves; who or what am I praising
Is it hurting me, and does it impact the child I am raising
Willingly following idols into the dark without a light
Blinded by influences purposely created to steal our sight
We hope and pray as we place them gently in God’s hands
Striving through faith to follow all His commands
It all becomes crystal clear as scales fall from our eyes
As we try to shape our children, God is shaping our lives
God uses the Word and even the unlikely to carry out His will
He is there for everyone, everywhere, with promises to fulfill
Never will you be happy and your loved ones will not flourish
Without being shaped by the Lord, your soul He will not nourish
Recall the sacrifice; forgiving of sins that had placed us in danger
Allow Jesus Christ to be born; by making your heart a manger
“You’ll never be happy until you make your heart a manger where the Christ Child may be born.” A quote by Rose Kennedy’s maid
