What Kind Of Memories What kind of memories Are you making for your child? Are they ones of peace and happiness? Or confusion, loud and wild. Are they memories of drudgery, Or martydom and gloom, Or rays of cheerful sunshine, That play across the room? Will he oft' recall your laughter, A confidential chat... A prayer with him at bedtime, A reassuring pat? Or will he shrink from memories Of constant condemnation... And wonder if his time with you Was just an irritation? In his mind's eye, will he see you, As you studied God's Word? Or comforted a neighbor, Whose troubles you had heard? Or will he just remember That you always rushed around... Absored in how you looked, Or a bargain that you had found? Childhood's gone too quickly, But memories linger on, So make his cloak of memories, Not with heartache, but with a song. Then he'll wear that cloak securely, When he's out in life alone... It will warm him as one day, he too, Makes memories for his own. ~Gail D.
