TODAY I TAUGHT MY CHILD

When I got mad today and hit my child, "For his own good, " I reconciled, and then I realized my plight... Today, I taught my child to fight.






When interrupted by the phone, I said, "tell them I'm not home." And then I thought, and had to sigh... Today I taught my child to lie.





I told the tax man what I made, forgetting cash that was paid, And than I blushed at this sad feat...Today I taught my child to cheat.





I smugly copied a cassette, To keep me from one more debt, But now the bells of shame must peal...Today I taught my child to steal.





Today I cursed another race, Oh God, protect what I debase, for now, I fear it is too late...Today I taught my child to hate.





By my example, children learn That I must lead in life's sojourn In such a way they are led. By what is done and not what is said…Today I gave my child his due



By praise for him instead of rue. And now I have begun my guide… Today I gave my child his pride.



The alms I give are not for show, And yet, this child must surely know That charity is worth the price… Today he saw my sacrifice.





I clasp within a warm embrace. My neighbor of another race. The great commandment from up above... Today I taught my child to love.





Someday my child must face alone. This fearsome undertone, But I have blazed a sure pathway… Today I taught my child to pray.
