Not with Harsh Words

The guidance of the word
in raising up the little ones
not with harsh words
but with the love of God

Our duty, our mission
as parents to the little ones
to raise them in the love of God
that in that they will teach

Each generation in succession
heeding the one same call
bringing up the little ones
I the loving arms of God
