"Fun stuff" draws our children in...
A pattern we must bridle,
For it can take up all their time
And teach them to be idle.
Young folks with TV and games
Become almost addicted.
When their minds become too full
Their spirits are "afflicted".
Children not weighed down with "stuff"
Become much more creative.
Those who love good books and read
Are much more contemplative.
Arts and skills which they learn early
Give them joy and help them grow.
They will prosper as adults
From all the right things which we sow.
"Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it."
Proverbs 22:6 KJV
