Sometimes little children
get awakened in the night.

They have no choice but to
hear Mommy and Daddy fight.

They lay there shaking in
their little beds,

as they pull the covers
up over their heads.

Mommy and Daddy, idols
in their children's eyes.

Now the child is scared,
and silently cries.

The child hears screaming and
yelling, and unknown words.

After this, his tender spirit
just turns inwards.

Mom and Dad? The night was made for love.

It is to share with each other
from the Lord above.

Tend to your children and
watch them sleep.

Love one another, so that
happiness you reap.

Vow to each other on the
day you are wed,

not to let foolish arguements
enter your bed.

Before you go to bed each night, watch your child sleeping
in tender delight.

Count your blessings and
make a guarentee,

to live a good life of examples,
for your children to see!
