Επιμέλεια: Εύα Πετροπούλου Λιανού
Do not snatch off children’s childhood
Let them enjoy as per their choice and mood
Too much care, indeed, l kills the cat
Let them play with the ball and bat
Let the mice play, hold the cat away
Discipline is good but teach in other way
Direct scolding to children is dangerous
Such morals may turn injurious
Laugh and sing when it is essential
We belong to earth not the bodies of celestial
A child is called the father of nation
We must foster them with love and compassion
Spiritual values are needed to be inculcated
Only material achievement will make them frustrated
The innocence of childhood will never come back
Let them enjoy it and serve them snack
