Analysis of LOVE THE CHILD AND NOT A CHILD
Every child deserves care and nurture.
Love the child and not a child!
You give me moral and sound education; that’s my right.
Love the child and not a child!
Curdle me when I cry and beat me when I go wrong.
Love the child and not a child!
All I need to be the promised leader of tomorrow don’t deny it.
Love the child and not a child!
All you give to me as a child shall be returned unto you at aged time.
Love the child and not a child!
