Our Imprint on the World
We Lay The Pattern For Our Children To Follow
What kind of example are we setting ?
Look around you
Aren't you tired of seeing the bad instead of the good ?
I know I am
In the newspaper and on the news
All over the internet
Why haven't we learned from our past mistakes ?
We have the technology to do almost anything
But we can't stop fighting one another
For no reason
The killing has to stop
It is not more police or more cameras to follow our every move
To catch the bad people doing wrong
It is time we took matters in our own hands
We start by taking responsibility for the error in our ways
Who are we kidding?
We are not living the life we could be living
One reason
We stopped caring
Not just for one another
But the most important person of them all
Ourselves
Wake up America
It is not the presidents job to solve all the worlds problems
It is easy to find flaws in the man in the oval office or anyone else for that matter
You have to admit he is trying
Making mistakes along the way
Isn't that what we all do?
But we are ashamed to admit
I wouldn't like all my goof ups for family to see
Never mind the world
If we start in our own home
Making sure our children are loved
Not just by buying them the newest apple i phone because they wanted it
By showing them day in and day out we care
Isn't that the basic responsibility of a parent
Then watch out that they don't do anything to foolish
They also will have to fly solo
We can't hold their hand forever
Hopefully what we have taught them each day
Some of it will stick
Aren't we forgetting something ?
That all the men and women and children in jail had parents
Where were those parents when they needed the help the most ?
So it's not too late
Start right now
Be a better parent
Then we will have better children
In the end they will teach their children
That is two generations of change
See how the world slowly becomes a better place
Don't let anyone try to fool you
It is a lot of hard work and complete dedication
Not an over night success story
But a story your Great grandchildren can tell their children
How life is...
How life could be...
With a little insight and love
The smallest bit of knowledge can go along way
