Budding Artist

A baby born so innocent,

A clean white canvas waiting.
A parents most important role,
To be the artist painting.

Will you paint your child loveing,

Tender, shareing, careing, sweet,
The many endless choices there,
The responsibility a real fete.

Will you be an abstract artist,

With free style raising your child.
Or will you follow set ideas,
And raise baby in traditional style.

You paint the future bright and bold,

Or pastels on canvas to cover.
Raise the child the best you can,
Till time for the child to take over.

Help your child paint its' future,

Brush in hand, they'll do their best.
Guide and help with a steady hand,
Then let them go to do the rest.
