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
