Road Show

My last week on 11/16/06 I was in Philadelphia for Moms on the Move with Linda Swain. Moms on the Move/HGTV-TV is a show that empowers moms. I prepared a diabetes-friendly meal. Will alert you to when it will air. I left there and was driven directly to Comcast Sports near Philadelphia. Interviewed with the host about howidodiabetes.com. Of course, you never get away without talking football any opportunity they get, they will ask about my son and his team. My last stop was at the Beverly Hill Middle School in Philly. The school emphasized that “The only marriage that must work for the sake of children is the marriage between home and school.” A philosophy I recommend. I spoke on “Lessons & Rewards,” of which Donovan was a recipient. Sports taught him many lessons & I rewarded him for the lessons he learned. But the treat for me was a song the students sang. I teared up a bit and wish to share it with you. “Let Them Be Little”.

“Let Them Be Little” by Lonestar

I can remember when you fit in the palm of my hand
Felt so good in it, no bigger than a minute
How it amazes me, you’re changing with every blink
Faster than a flower blooms they grow up all too soon

So let them be little ‘cause they’re only that way for a while
Give them hope, give them praise, give them love every day
Let them cry, let them giggle, let them sleep in the middle
Oh just let them be little

I’ve never felt so much in one little tender tough
I live for those kisses, prayers and your wishes
Now that you’re teaching me things only a child can see
Every night while we’re on our knees all I ask is please

Let them be little ‘cause they’re only that way for a while
Give them hope, give them praise, give them love every day
Let them cry, let them giggle, let them sleep in the middle
Oh just let them be little

So innocent, a precious soul, you turn around
It’s time to let them go

So let them be little ‘cause they’re only that way for a while
Give them hope, give them praise, give them love every day
Let them cry, let them giggle, let them sleep in the middle
Oh just let them be little

Let them be little
