Today's Children Should Be Taught

Something Worth Thinking About

Bud Young
Today's children should be taught

Why wars have been fought

Cheap, life is not

True love, first to be sought

Children should be taught today

A kinder, gentler way

More empowering things to say

Loving hearts with words that stay

Lessons on what God requires

The dangers of lust's smoldering fires

A need to serve that never tires

The loving heart that God desires

Especially in this day and age

Wartime savagery on instant display

Sudden outbursts of human rage

Love can't seem to find a way

Let's give some extra thought

Today's children ARE being taught
