If a Child

If a child lives with criticism

He learns to condemn

If a child lives with shame

He learns to feel guilty

If a child lives with forgiveness

He learns to have patience

If a child lives with fairness

He learns justice

If a child lives with security

He learns to have faith

There's a love he will give you

You can't conceive it, just believe it

But you must become as a child

To receive it

Open up - he will come into your heart

Then you will see it

If a child lives with jesus

He learns to give love to the world
