Good advice to the children of today.
For they have no regard for their elders but only contempt.
This is not true with all children but most feel this way.
I am glad I was reared the time I was for I had a chance of minding my elders with favor.
The Lord knew my years of upbringing were going to be the best years of my life.
I was taught to mind my elders and never give them any grief.
There was a deep respect for the adults; in my life.
The teachers were looked up to and revered.
I have to say I was able to get along with most of the teachers I had while learning.
Minding my elders was a special gift I was able to give back to those older than myself.
The parents I had always made sure I was obedient to them and the other adults; in our lives.
This is a great lesson to be learned and one to cherish.
