There is something in the nurturing touch

that has nought but purity about it

tender and caring it straightens,

tends

helps the child to grow.

Without such sweetly given gifts

the child shivers in the cold of its sunlight

and glow so

dear Fathers learn from Midas

turn your thoughts

not to what you lost the day they were born

but rather what you gained.

Words June Perkins
