Our Children

|
Mother, touch your children
Father, hug them tight
Let them know you love them
Morning,noon,and night
Put your arms around them
Hold them near to you
Feel the beating of their hearts
The life that you make new
Roll around the floor with them
Tease and laugh and play
Listen to what they'll tell you
They have so much to say
Take time to get to know them
See the colors in their eyes
Appreciate that person
That deep inside them lies
Let them run their fingers through
Your hair and down your face
Fill their hearts with words of praise
Make home their favorite place
Cuddle with them on the couch
Sing with them or share a book
Take them to church and sunday school
And help their world to grow
Take a walk into the park
Hold each other's hand
Smell the flowers, feed the duck
Build castles in the sand
Mother, touch your children
Fathers, hug them tight
Show them what a gift they are
To love them feels so right
