Making Time

Making Time

Once upon a time

In a land far away

There were parents

Who made time to play

They sat down to dinner

And bowed their heads to pray

Then asked about school

And the rest of our day

They made time for their children

One and all

There was no problem

Too big or too small

They spent evenings together

And when nighttime fell

They rested comfortably

Knowing all was well

It seems long ago

And a fairytale dream

But those who remember

Know just what I mean

We should make time

Give thanks and praise

Make your children a priority

Every single day

Work and all else

Should always come last

Because when children start growing

It happens so fast

And what fonder memory

Would you want left behind

Than a child who remembers

A parent who took time

Time to say I love you

To say what is wrong

And listened to the story

No matter how short or how long

We all need to feel needed

And when you are a little one

Hugs are like flowers

And I love you is the sun

So take care of your young hearts

They need you to say

How important their lives are

And you love them always
