“Children should be seen, not heard,” Goes the Victorian credo. And how many times Have we all wished for that. “Teenagers are an alien race,” Goes the anguished cry. And a million mums Would agree with that. The idea that a child Is a perfect being A happy smile, And a rosy glow – Then the child is born And the dream is shattered By the broken nights And the sleep-starved days. This is not a doll Or a fashion accessory. It’s a human being In an unfinished state. Being a Mum or a Dad Is a life investment. If you want some love Then you've got to care. Listen to your kids And you’ll grow together On your journey through life Look through children’s eyes.
