Children Are Running In All Directions

Running, running in all directions



Each one with self on the mind



If a favor is done



It's done for number one



To help others would take too much time



 All of them on a mission



No time to listen



Because today they've got something else to do



Our children are running in all directions



With little guidance from me or you



 We started out well in the beginning



We taught them their ABC's



But now that they're running in all directions



We sleep and give them the keys



We'd better wake up and show them the way
The future is in their hands
The running of our children must come to a stop
So we all can begin to stand



H. Renay Anderson

So very true, but there are far too many parents today that would rather be left alone. Parenting is such a bothersome chore sor they say. Many are having children, but so few want to raise them, too interested in themselves. You have written a good piece.

Be safe,
Karen

Your poem is an excellent way to give a Wake Up call to every adult in America!
"Unless the Lord builds a house, the builders' work is useless."
"Children are a gift from God."
Both verses are from the Living Bible, psalm 127, and should be taken as a caution--children are precious gifts, and need the nurture and admonition of parents and other adults to teach them the ways of God. How else will order be restored to America?
Thanks for sharing this good poem.
Connie
