Words
When we get older
We tend to forget so much about the past
We worry about the stupid things
Not thinking about what can make things last
We have learned from words of wisdom
Things others have shared along the way
You wouldnt think we have learned anything
Just by the words we say
Our mouth tends to open
Various words spilling out
The kind of words
That make others scream and shout
Getting caught up
In a world of our own
We generally dont see the affect
Or how our ignorance has grown
Especially if were married
A couple joined as one
Most generally
Having created a daughter or a son
The first thing we do
Is praise thanks for the little child
Watch them grow
Until the get a little wild
Then we have stress and our lives turn upside down
Not even realizing
Children can see words
When they see us frown
Then we start to fight
Our children see it all
They run to another place
And they quietly ball
Crying their eyes out
Feeling not wanted or loved
They cry in that little place
Where they feel they have been shoved
The things we forget
Is being selfish is so easy to do
When all we think about
Is ourselves and not the children too
So forgetting things
We have learned in the past
Are most likely
Things to make a relationship last
Its all the things
that we know make us strong
things we just forget about
which weve known all along
Maybe we should stop and think
About the words that we say
Especially in front of our children
So they dont feel to run away
Be a better person
Full of love and care
Speak out and say your sorry
And youll always be there
Try to share your love
Give a smile to your child
And dont get stressed out
When they get a little wild
They are not little forever
As they will grow old someday too
Share your love with them
And they will love you too
Words are very powerful
Please think about what you say
Share your wisdom with your children
And they will grow to be better in every way
