Everybody's searching for a hero,
people need someone to look up to.
I never found anyone to fulfill my needs.
A lonely place to be,
and so I learned to depend on me.

I decided long ago,
never to walk in anyone's shadows.
If I fail, if I succeed,
at least I'll live as I believe.
No matter what they take from me,
they can't take away my dignity.

Because the greatest love of all is happening to me.
I found the greatest love of all inside of me.
The greatest love of all is easy to achieve.
Learning to love yourself,
it is the greatest love of all.

I believe the children are our future,
teach them well and let them lead the way.
Show them all the beauty they possess inside.
Give them a sense of pride to make it easier.
Let the children's laughter,
remind us how we used to be.

I decided long ago,
never to walk in anyone's shadows.
If I fail, if I succeed,
at least I'll live as I believe.
No matter what they take from me,
they can't take away my dignity.

Because the greatest love of all is happening to me.
I found the greatest love of all inside of me.
The greatest love of all is easy to achieve.
Learning to love yourself,
it is the greatest love of all.

And if by chance that special place,
that you've been dreaming of,
leads you to a lonely place,
find your strength in love.
***Whitney Houston***

Fingerprints..... I know you get discouraged because I am so small, and always leave my fingerprints on furniture and walls. But everyday I'm growing, I'll be all grown up someday, and all the smudgies that I did, will surely fade away. So here's another bunch of them, just so you can recall, exactly how my fingers looked, when I was very small. *Wendy Lyn* We hold tomorrow in our hands when we hold our children in our arms.

Careful the things you say, children will listen.
Careful the things you do, children will see, and learn.
Children may not obey, but children will listen.
Children will to look you, for which way to turn, to learn what to be.
Careful before you say, "listen to me", children will listen.

Careful the wish you make, wishes are children.
Careful the path they take, wishes come true, not free.
Careful the spell you cast, not just on children.
Sometimes the spell may last, past what you can see, and turn against you.
Careful the tale you tell, that is the spell.

Children will listen . . . . .
So guide them but step away, children will glisten.
Children will look to you, for which way to turn, to learn what to be.
Careful before you say "listen to me", children will listen.
