Train up a child
For you Joe
What happens when you take a life
And twist it between your fingers
You may not do it physically
But mentally, it still lingers
Be careful of the choices you make
When you train up a child
What you decide to teach them
In their brain is forever filed
You’re supposed to be their hero
The mighty man in their eyes
Until you mess up their thinking
And mix their mind up with lies
The things that you do and say
Will go on ito their future
Even when you make it right
There will always be a suture
If you leave them with a shattered world
That they don’t know how to mend
They’ll forever pick up the pieces
And there will always be a bend
What you put inside their mind
Can determine their spiritual fate
The choice is really yours to make
Will they love God or hate
