The Children of God

As long as you remain a child,
Bonds keep you from going wild;
Even though you felt as lord,
Only because you were adored.

Parents told you what to do,
Contradicted what you knew;
Getting upset at their command,
Because you did not understand.

They just ensure you are taught,
Help you in your train of thought;
Just as teachers and tutors the same,
Within the classroom they proclaim.

Even though you may not agree,
Since you may be too blind to see;
You are obligated to still abide,
Because of a seed planted inside.

Just as we are all children of God,
Our Father for to honor and laud;
Being in bondage to Him everyday,
And why we need to trust and obey.
