Were you looking for this? 
How do you say to your child in the night?
Nothing's all black, but then nothing's all white
How do you say it will all be all right
When you know that it might not be true?
What do you do?
Careful the things you say
Children will listen
Careful the things you do
Children will see and learn
Children may not obey, but children will listen
Children will look to you for which way to turn
To learn what to be
Careful before you say "Listen to me"
Children will listen
Careful the wish you make
Wishes are children
Careful the path they take
Wishes come true, not free
Careful the spell you cast
Not just on children
Sometimes a spell may last
Past what you can see
And turn against you
Careful the tale you tell
That is the spell
Children will listen
How do you say to a child who's in flight
"Don't slip away and I won't hold so tight"
What can you say that no matter how slight
Won't be misunderstood.
What do you leave to your child when you're dead?
Only whatever you put in it's head
Things that you're mother and father had said
Which were left to them too
Careful the things you say
Children will listen
Careful you do them too
Children will see
And learn
Guide them, but step away
Children will glisten
Tamper with what is true
And children will turn
If just to be free
Careful before you say
"Listen to me"
Children will listen

I don't enjoy the high pitched squealing of any child. Those known to me get told to pipe down and those I don't know get a hard stare and a suggestion that playing quieter will ensure that they get to play longer.
Laughter and being childish is fine though. I love it when the little ones sit on the wall chattering away to each other planning what to play.

I sympathise! I had to keep all the windows closed at the back of my flat earlier while my son napped as the row of 6 houses and a block of flats children all grouped together ( there was 11 at last count) and pretty much screamed for 2 hours solid! |
