Parental Love

by

For Nicole Williams and Errol Ashby

Parental Love should run for endless rounds,

Although it should not be just like a game

Where players are ignored, when out of bounds,

By referees whose slack can lead to shame.

Rules should be set for every vital play

Which little players, in or out, must learn.

When they infringe those rules, or disobey,

Both referees should, in discipline, be stern.

Parental Love should hone the game of life

So children grow to adults, straight and tall!

To spare the rod, in deed, cuts like a knife

Which hinders real growth, to keep them small!

Parental Love -- if proper! -- makes them howl,

Whenever Junior Players run a foul....
