The eyes of children...mine!


 

 

Through The Eyes Of A Child

It is through the eyes of children
That your actions will be met
Remember what you give in life
More often, you will get


Don’t bring them up with violence
Don’t punish them with pain
If you educate with love and care
They’ll reward you time again.



I want to be the one who
They come to for advice
Don’t shout and ball in anger
Its better to be nice.



So think next time they do wrong
Don’t simply raise your hand
To the innocence before you
And with you they will stand

My rating: <a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/346853176">3 of 5 stars</a><br /><br />
I finally finished. I'm not sure how to describe it. There were moments of enlightment by which I was able to see religious beliefs from a different perspective, namely the authors view point, and I did enjoy that. I liked reading his opinion on certain religious traditions and interpretations of written biblical text. However, I did not care much for all the technical explanations, though I do believe it to be necessary to explain how things work or why, it just felt way over the top and more often than not I would have to skip a few pages because I just wanted to know what happened next.<br /><br />Overall it was a great read, great information, thought provoking. Did you read it? What did you think? I'm sure I'll read more by this author.
