If I Had It To Do All Over Again
And as I hung up the phone it occurred to
me he'd grown up just like me,
My boy was just like me.
And the cats in ,the cradle and the silver
spoon,
Little Boy Blue and the man and the
moon,
When you comin' home son. I don't know
when,
But we'll get together then dad. you know
we'll have
a
good time then.
I hate that song. That's why I keep copies in
my desk, files, briefcase. So, let's not forget
this haunting message. Parents, redeem the
time whenever you can, in any way you can,
for as long as you can. Be there for them.
Ten Mistakes to avoid: REMORSE over
yesterday's failure. ANXIETY over today's
problems.
WORRY
over
tomorrow's
uncertainty. WASTE of the moment's
opportunity. PROCRASTINATION with one's
present duty. RESENTMENT of another's
success. CRITICISM of a neighbor's
imperfection. IMPATIENCE with youth's
immaturity. SKEPTICISM of our nation's
future. UNBELIEF in God's providence.
