Yes! 100% yes!
They do, it's true and it is so important for people to realise.
Thank you for the reminder! It is so easy to forget and the resulting consequences are so hard to reverse

For sure. When there is no love. The there is no God. For God is love. A person who loves, knows God. Love covers a multitudes of mistakes. Train up a child in the way they go. Either way. You said a lot in this write.

Amen sister. How did I miss this? Parents tell their kids not to say bad things then cuss up a storm. We say get along with people, and then talk bad about"those" people.
We can do better. Karen

Can see why this was a winner, very well done. It's more difficult (at least I think it is) to write short poems like this that resonate and stick with you. You've mastered the knack of it here. Great work

    CM, thanks a million for the awesome comments about this piece. It is something that is something we must all work harder on for the children. And as much as it can't be prevented all the time, it is important to show love as well so they see the balance. Thanks again, my friend. Love, Debi

Wow this is a really powerful poem with imagery that really combines a really important message here. I believe that our behaviours are monejy see monkey do from our childhood etc, and that we are victims of victims and nobody can be blamed, though it is up to the individual to stop that cycle so it doesn't conti me. Very well done Debi, excellent work my friend
Best Wishes
Nicki

    Nicki, this is a subject that is hard for me as well as anyone else. My parent's fought, my husband and I tried hard not to argue in front of our kids. Instead I try to prevent it. That is why I learned what they lived. But I hated it so I changed it in my home.

    Thanks for the kind words for this. Lotsa love and hugs. Debi

Author,
Children are born innocent. Not a bone of hate, racist, bullying, or any other meal intention. They only have love in there heart.

They learn the "bad" from certain surroundings. Surrounding we never have our kids... only the good!

Excellent poem,
Thanks for sharing.

John

Lovely little haiku with a lovely message. Unfortunately though we seem to teach kids these days more and more the wrong sort of lessons and then moan at them when they don't act like perfect angels. I enjoyed your poem though and always try to teach them correctly- as best I can.

    Nelly, I thank you so much for the kind words for "They Learn What They Live Poem." It is something that we can't teach our grandkids enough is how to show love and be respectful in all they do. I appreciate your thoughtful comments very much

This is a great 5-7-5 poem. It is so true that children learn from watching their parents. So many kids come from hateful homes and they learn that, It's a vicious circle.


Great job and good luck in the contest.

Cecilia

Wise words to live by. They will observe and learn from what we do and not just what we say. Our example will speak volumes. Be true to our words and they will follow.
