HIS LIFE
(villanelle poem)

Parents are tasked with the responsibility of molding and shaping their children’s future and character. When it comes to making choices it is imperative to provide them with guidance. Today with all the pressure emanating from social media and technological advancements it has become more challenging than ever to teach children proper spending habits , and to make them
