A Poem for Parents

I discovered a poetry competition blog and thought I'd give it a go. Poetry isn't a strength of mine but here it is as today's post.

Taking part in Thursday Poet´s Rally

Boastful and young
Do they know they're naive?
They believe what you say
So tell them they'll achieve

If you don't want a world
Full of war drought and hunger
For the future generations
Believe in them though they're younger

If the world should still turn
In times not gone yet to pass
Tell them true
Tell them clear
Speak to them as a peer
Help them learn and understand
Tell them you'll lend a hand

If you do then just know
You've affected the flow
So it's turned
It's diverted
You've helped them grow
Helped them learn

Be assured and be certain
Earth will bloom
It won't burn
