If you want to help someone grow up,
Do it like growing grass in a lawn,
Not like growing corn in a farm

Growing corn expecting a harvest
Will mar the pleasure of your efforts
In case the harvest turns a failure.

The pleasant mind grown out of the helps given
Need not be painted with bitterness
By putting to the test the one you helped.

hehe very nice i enjoyed reading this, it would be quiet daunting helping someone grow up only to find they are unproductive, at least grass is usually green nice piece :)
