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 wouldn’t 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 don’t 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

It’s all the things
that we know make us strong
things we just forget about
which we’ve known all along

Maybe we should stop and think
About the words that we say
Especially in front of our children
So they don’t feel to run away

Be a better person
Full of love and care
Speak out and say your sorry
And you’ll always be there

Try to share your love
Give a smile to your child
And don’t 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
