Mom's Little Boy

I'd like to dedicate this page to my son who is
now a young man and to my grandson who is 8 years old. Love
you both so much. Time sure seems to fly.

Just a Little Boy

He stands at the plate with heart pounding fast.
The bases are loaded, the die has been cast.
Mom and Dad cannot help him; he stands all alone.
A hit at this moment would send the team home.
The ball meets the plate, he swings and he misses.

There's a groan from the crowd,
with some boos and some hisses.
A thoughtless voice cries: "Strike out the bum."
Tears fill his eyes; the game's no longer fun.

So open your heart and give him a break.
For it's moments like this, a man you can make.
Keep this in mind when you hear someone forget.
He's just a little boy and not a man yet.

Children Learn What They Live

If a child lives with criticism, he learns to condemn.
If a child lives with hostility, he learns to fight.
If a child lives with ridicule, he learns to be shy.
If a child lives with shame, he learns to feel guilty.
If a child lives with tolerance, he learns to be patient,
If a child lives with encouragement, he learns confidence.
If a child lives with praise, he learns to appreciate.
If a child lives with fairness, he learns justice.
If a child lives with security, he learns to have faith.
If a child lives with approval, he learns to like himself.
If a child lives with acceptance, and friendship
He learns to find love in the world.
