Last night Julia & I attended a Musical Fireside. It was excellent!
I was reminded to live in the moment & to be careful.
These are the lyrics to my favorite song of the evening.
Children Will Listen
How do you say to your child in the night
Nothing is all black but then nothing is all white?
How do you say it will all be alright
When you know that it might not be true? What do you do?
Careful the things you say, children will listen.
Careful the things you do, children will see & learn.
Children may not obey, but children will listen.
Children will look to u for which way to turn, to learn what to be.
Careful before you say, listen to me. Children will listen.
Careful the wish you make, wishes are children.
Careful the path they take, wishes come true, not free.
Careful the spell you cast, not just on children.
The spell may last past what you can see & turn against you...
Careful the tale you tell. That is the spell. Children will listen...
How can you say to a child who's in flight,
Don't slip away & I won't hold so tight?
What can you say that no matter how slight
Won't be misunderstood?
What do you leave to your child when you're dead
Only what ever you put in its head
Things that your mother & father had said
Which were left to them too.
Careful what you say, children will listen
Careful you do it too, children will see & learn.
Oh! Guide them but step away, children will glisten.
Temper with what is true & children will turn, if just to be free.
Careful before you say, listen to me. Children will listen!

I agree- Thanks for sharing-
Thanks for finding the words to the song, and thanks for coming. It's always nice to have you support me! I should put these words on my bedroom wall so I can remember.
I came across your blog through Aprils...it has been so long since I have seen you! I wanted you to know that I love reading your blog. I was reading it one day and felt the spirit very strongly...which I really needed. Your daughter is beautiful! And it is great to see that your family is doing well! Our blog is jaredandramee.blogspot if you ever want to check us out :)
