Children are the heritage of the lord
So says the holy book.
Spare the rod and spoil the child
Was the instruction
But do you really understand the rod?
To teach and to guide
To lead and instruct
The rod is not the stick in your hand
It is not the beatings
It is the bitter truth
It is the experiences spoken about
It is the heart to heart talk with the young ones
The apologises rendered when wrong
It is the appreciation shown when an achievement is made
So spare the beatings and spoil not the child
Cause you are a mirror to which they look up to
The reflection of you is seen in them
So live by example on a daily basis
