A child raised by a good parent
will grow up able to be a congenial and loving adult.
The conduct of one parent with such a heart
reveals itself in this way
through ongoing generations.
Parents’ lives are not confined
to themselves alone.
They are the starting point
of life that unfolds
into the infinite future.
