Send Your Children To Bed with a Kiss


Oh, mothers, so weary, discouraged
Worn out with the cares of the day,
You often grow cross and impatient,
Complain of the noise and the play.
For the day brings many vexations,
So many things go amiss.
But, mothers, whatever may vex you,
Send the children to bed with a kiss.

The dear little feet often wander.
Perhaps from the pathways of right.
The dear little hands find new mischief
To try you from morning til night
But think of the desolate mothers
Who'd give all the world for your bliss
And as thanks for your infinite blessings
Send the children to bed with a kiss.

For someday their noise will not vex you
The silence will hurt you far more.
You will long for the sweet childish voices
For a sweet childish face at the door.
And to press a child's face to your bossom.
You'd give all the world just for this.
For the comfort t'will give you in sorrow
Send the children to bed with a kiss

It's easy to be thankful for the good things.
A life of rich fulfillment comes to those who
are also thankful for the setbacks
Gratitude can turn a negative into a positive
Find a way to be thankful for your troubles
and they can become your blessings.

i hope dili ni mabalhin sa arts & lits


i jst posted this coz there are some of us who might be guilty about this
being a single mom, wd 3 kids to take care of and no maid @ d end of the day
im too exhausted to realize that they not only need me to clean up after them
pero they also need quality time with me
labi na medyo OC ko, mas gitagaan nako tym ang paglimpyo
cge lng ko pangasaba
"bago pa gani ko limpyo nagkatag napud!"
they go to bed crying coz pugson jd nko pakatulog kay para ka rest ko
im not a bad mother, im jst exhausted and sometimes kng dili ko katulog
i look at their sleeping faces and makahilak ko, i should have been milder,
listened to their stories, laughed with them, read them a story....


hahay emote lng

CHILDHOOD DOESNT WAIT

I was sitting on a bench
while in a nearby mall,
When I noticed a young mother
with two children who were small.

The youngest one was whining'
"Pick me up," I heard him beg
but the mother's face grew angry
as the child clung to her leg.

"Don't hang on to me," she shouted
as she pushed his hands away
I wish I'd had the courage
to go up to her and say...

"The time will come to quickly
when those little arms that tug,
Won't ask for you to hold them
or won't freely give a hug.

"The day will sneak up subtly
just as it did with me,
When you can't recall the last time
that your child sat on your knee

"Like those sacred pre-dawn feedings
when we cherished time alone
Our babies grow and leave behind
those special times we've known.

"So when a child comes to you
with a book that you can share
Or asks that you would tuck him in
and help him say his prayer

"When he comes to sit and chat
or would like to take a walk,
Before you answer that you can't
cause there's no time to talk"
Remember what all parents learn
so many times to late,
That years go by too quickly
and that childhood doens't wait.

"Take every opportunity
if one should slip away
Reach hard to get it back in,
don't wait another day."
I watched that mother walk away
her children followed near
I hope she'll pick them up
Before her chances disapper
