Reflection

Whatever you do will reflect
Upon the way your children act--
If you love, then they will too;
If you hate, then they'll hate you.
If you're sad, they'll be full of sorrow
And wish for you a better tomorrow.
If you're happy, they'll be filled with joy--
This rings true for both girl and boy.

But when they have grown
They want to make choices of their own
And become their own person.
However, whatever you've done will reflect
Upon the way your children act.
