The world teaches criticism, we learn to condemn.
It shows us hostility, we learn violence.
It shows us ridicule, we learn to be shy.
The world teaches us shame, we learn to feel guilty.
But you Lord, You teach me tolerance, I learn to be patient.
You show me encouragement, I learn confidence.
You teach me praise, I learn to appreciate.
You show me fairness, I understand justice.
You teach me security, I learn to like myself.
You show me acceptance and friendship, I learn to love the world...
*What is done to children, they will do to society.*
