church of Christ
                  To My Child

The things I can do and can not do.
I can share your life, but I can not live it for you.
I can teach you things, but I can not make your learn.
I can give you directions, but I can not always lead you.
I can allow you freedom, but I can not account for it.
I can take you to church, but I can not make you believe.
I can teach you right from wrong, but I can not decided for you.
I can teach you respect, but I can not force you to show honor.
I can  tell you the facts of life, but I can not build you reputation.
I can tell you abot lofty goals, but I can not achieve them for you.
