Sense Sonnet - Pumper

 A Child of Mine

I do not tell you how to live.

I only ask that you just try,

When taking from me all I give,

To live with love until you die.

Your time with me will not be long.

Please do your best while you're with me.

I will forgive when you are wrong,

And will give thanks when right you be.

As you grow into adulthood,

Our hopes and dreams can come true,

If you become a force for good.

Know I am always here for you.

Under my care to death from birth,

You are a child of Mother Earth.
