Love Your Children

Today I went in for Jury Duty. I'm very glad I wasn't selected to be on the jury - it was a criminal trial and the defendant was charged with some awful things. So, instead of thinking about that, I tried to come up with something a bit happier...

Love your children, hold them tight

Keep them safe throughout the night

You can be their guiding light

So love your children, hold them tight

Love your children, teach them well

How to read and add and spell

And how to bathe so they won’t smell

Yes, teach your children, teach them well

Love your children, heart and mind

Show them how to be refined

Demonstrate how to be kind

As you love them, heart and mind

Love your children, through and through

It’s the best thing you can do

If you do it right then you

Have children who will love you, too!
