Hug Your Kids
Life Is Short…And Tunes For Kids Aren’t Nearly As Important As Love
I like to believe what I do, write and sing kids music, might make a difference in the lives of kids and their parents. I know it’s not a huge difference, but my tunes are for fun. Parents can play the CD(s) and watch their little boy or girl have fun singing along or dancing to the beat. And my music is designed not to “sing down” to kids, but rather to lift them up on wings of imagination.
Still, I realize it’s just music. It doesn’t replace the love and attention mom and dad. This point is clear in my mind as I think about a friend who died last week. Her kids are grown up, so at least they got to spend all their formative years with their mom. But they won’t see her again. She won’t be there to hug them when they need it. She won’t be there to have them over for Thanksgiving dinner. She won’t be there to share their joy as they have kids of their own.
In this world there’s an extremely precious commodity more limited than all the others…time.
Even though we all get mad at each other, don’t spend to0 much time on your anger. Spend much more time on love. Focus on the important things. And the others will eventually fall into place. “This, too, shall pass.”
I’d love for you to buy my tunes for kids. But only if it means you can share in the fun together. It’s much more important to me that you give of yourself. Your kids will thank you for it. Maybe not right away, but they will. I promise.
Thanks for reading, listening, and for having and loving your kids.
God bless Moms and Dads.
Stay tuned,
