Take moment to listen today
To What your children are trying to
say.
Listen today, whatever you do.
Or they won't be there to listen to
you.
Listen to their problems, listen to
their needs;
Praise their smallest triumphs,
Praise their smallest deeds,
Tolerate their chatter, amplify
their laughter,
Find out what's the matter,
Find out what they're after -
But tell them that you love them,
every single night,
And though you scold them,
be sure you hold them tight;
Tell them, "Everything's all
right -
Tomorrow's looking bright!"
Take a moment to listen today
To what your children are trying to
say.
Listen today,
whatever you do,
And they will come back to listen to
you

"Motherhood: It is still the biggest gamble
in the world. It is the glorious life force.
It's huge and scary--it's an act of infinite
optimism."
--Gilda Radner
She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness.
Proverbs 31:27
A mother is...
one who can take the place of all others, but whos place
no one else can take.
