Lessons for This Mama

Listen when they call for you.
Be ready to draw near.
Take in every story told,
Remember what you hear.

Laugh at little jokers who
Are learning to delight
With funny tales and knock-knocks
That sometimes aren't quite right.

Love them when they're being sweet,
And when they mess up too.
Show them what forgiveness means,
As Jesus did for you.

Lead them to the One you know
Who listens, laughs, and loves
The best and most completely,
Our Father up above.
