Thread Name: Songs about growing up?
Subject: RE: Songs about growing up?
Here's a song that used to be on Television to open a children's show called "Jim Stewart and the Glovables". I always found it wonderful..xx..e
Be kind to your parents, : Though they don't deserve it, : Remember that "grownup" : Is a difficult stage of life. : They're apt to be nervous, : And over-excited : Confused by the daily storm and strife.
: Just keep in mind : Though it sounds odd I know. . . : Most parents once were children : Long ago....(incredible!!)
: So treat them with patience : And sweet understanding, : In spite of the foolish things they do. : Some day you may wake up : And find you're a parent, too.
The above is a song called "Be kind to your parents" and the author's last name is Rome. You can find a recording of it by Pete Seeger on his "For kids and just plain folks" CD
