A Moment to Regret

Watch what you say...especially to kids; who knows what they'll pick up, say, or believe!

What did you want to be when you grew up?
There's so many things you could do,
But when you're told over and over you're stupid,
After awhile it really gets to you.


Be careful what you say to people,
They are weaker than you think.
Just remember what was told you,
Echo years in shame and regret...


Regret because you were afraid to tell them
They hurt you more and more each day,
And of course, they say they are only fooling,
For you to continue on with their play.


Be nice to all people,
We're all children of God,
Pray for others, for us all;
And know someone is praying for you.

When I was young, I was very shy and so absorbed a lot of hurtful talk from others. I was held a prisoner of the opinions of man, until Christ set me free. This poem ought to be read out loud in every class room, and discussed! Especially like the way you put the line "be careful what you say to people, they are weaker than you think.

Great advice to pass on. Children have eyes and take everything all in. Did you ever hear a child repeat after an adult something that should not be said? We have to watch ourselves and give them a good example to follow at all times. Little pitchers have big ears I remember being told.

Excellant poem and advice . I tell people when I was 25 years old I didn't realize my kids would grow up and judge me. Something for all parents to remember. Little eyes are watching , little ears are listening and they are everywhere.

This is so true Sharon, children are extremely vulnerable and very atuned to adults around them, their body language, what is not said yet felt in the air. Hugs and God Bless.
