My Song: Be Kind to Your Parents
« on: April 29, 2010, 04:15:23 AM »
So much of a good relationship is being able to understand how the other guy feels, isn't it?  With thanks to all of you who have offered me your support, I am sending you the lyrics to one of my favorite songs:


"Be Kind to Your Parents"

Be kind to your parents
Tho they don't deserve it
Remember that grownups is a difficult stage of life

They're apt to be nervous
And over-excited
Confused by their daily storm and strife

Just keep in mind
Tho it seems hard, I know
Most parents were children long ago

Incredible!

So treat them with patience
And kind understanding
In spite of the foolish things they do

Someday you may wake up, and find you're a parent, too.

---Pete Seeger

Ah, yes...so true. Thank you. (Moved to Poems from the Instructions (Open Me first) category. And moved my poem  too.)
