Listen to The Children
Listen to the children, to what they have to say
or some where up the road
you will wish you did that day
listen close when they reach deep within
to say how they feel or want to confess a sin.
Listen well to their hearts cry
hold them close, don't let emotions fly
don't harp on them when they are a sinner
better yet, rub it in when they are a winner.
Because people mirror what you put out
their calm when your calm,
they shout when you shout
tell them that you love them,
when they are young
or someday you'll pray that the jury comes
back hung.
Tell them, you are my child and I am proud
make sure you say this nice and loud
make sure you spend a lot of time with them
or your relationship is surely condemned.
Grab a toy car and hop on the floor
For this he will love you, so much more
Show them attention, show them you care
Teach them you are willing to share.
Make sure you are always in their reach
teach them all that you can teach
when they show you a desire to learn
read to them until your eyes burn.
Make sure you show them alot of respect
Or someday your relationship may be wrecked
so I have these words to those that will listen
follow them and your life will glisten.
Take the family to a picnic under the birch
or better yet, join them in church.
