Time gives way to so many things. Without knowing, the children here today will be grown even before you can really capture them fully in your memory. Would you want to regret someday for the things you could give them and failed to do so? The attachment with children is probably the easiest thing we will ever come across. You meet a new kid today, and it needs no introduction from someone else. You know you already have bonded, could be even without words. Just a smile would do. Their expression is beyond explanation. The magic that they can set on your face any moment of the day is amazing.

Children may not need anything more because they never are some discontented lot like us. They happily dwell on what they have. It doesn't matter where they live, they are just happy under the care of their parents. They do not envy. Just admiringly satisfied. Never worried, never jealous, never cruel. Only pure innocence, without pretence, full of life, never fearing what's to come because they have never wronged anyone. Their lives are enviable. But they enter the cruel world to see all kinds of corruption taking place. It's sadly true. Yet it's inevitable.

One thing we can do is teach them well because what they learn in childhood will always be significant. Those values will follow them when they are ready to take on the world. Sometimes children become our very life. Some parents love them to death. Well, they are doing their part. But what if they are spoilt rotten? Many are unable to change their ways today because they were too pampered when they were small. Comforts are necessary but what if you give them too much? Out of love we could do anything. Yes, anything out of excess. But draw the limit because children will be the sufferers later on.
