Mothers, touch
your children,
Fathers, hug them tight,
Let them know you love them,
morning, noon, and night.
Put your arms
around them,
hold them near to you.
Feel the beating of their hearts,
the life that you made new.
Roll around the floor with them,
tease and laugh and play.
Listen to what they'll tell you,
they have so much to say.
Take time to
get to know them,
see the colors in their eyes,
Appreciate that person,
that deep inside them lies.
Let them run their fingers,
through your hair, and down your face.
Fill their hearts with words of praise,
make home their favorite place.
Cuddle
with them on the couch,
and watch a tv show.
Sing with them, or share a book,
and help their world to grow.
Take a walk into the park,
hold each other's hands.
Smell the flowers, feed the ducks,
build castles in the sand.
Mothers, touch
your children
Fathers, hug them tight.
Show them what a gift they are;
to love them feels so right.
