Parenting With Optimism!
During the month of May, I thought about the poetry and musical presentation I wrote many years ago entitled, “Woman, Wife, Mother…A Song to Sing!” The following song is from this presentation, and I hope it will bring some inspiration, joy, and determination to keep trying for all parents!
Whether we are female or male, we each have responsibilities and roles to perform, and we need to take an eternal perspective and not get bogged down in the repetitive cycle and struggles of daily life. Becoming a “Gentleman, Husband, and Father” is just as vital to the world as becoming a “Woman, Wife, and Mother” as parents share in the blessing of raising kind, loving children who will help to make the world a better place to live.
Yes, we as mothers and fathers must always maintain our optimism and eternal perspective!
SONG: I AM A WOMAN, A WIFE, AND A MOTHER
VERSE 4
I am a woman, a wife, and a mother—
the work that I do can be done by no other.
Increasing family unity is up to me
and helping my family to lovingly be.
Teachings and goals that I can give
will help my family to eternally live.
The harmony I desire can be maintained
by encouraging all without any blame.
My work that I do can be done by no other—
I am a woman, a wife, and a mother!
(Or if you are a man—I am a gentleman, a husband, and a father!)
