Song to my children

My theme song to my children for this morning:

How can I miss you if you won’t go away?
far far away from me.
How can I grieve, if you won’t leave?
And how can I shed a tear, if you’re still here?
Absence makes the heart grow fonder,
so they say.
Let’s see if that old saying still holds true today.
I’ll sadly sigh
as we say goodbye.
I’ll miss you more than words can say,
but how can I miss you if you won’t go away?
So go way my darling and please don’t delay.
And my heart will grow fonder each hour you’re away.

The kids have been in my face this morning, in case you can’t tell. Large portions of my brain have been trying to figure out how I can get away from them and from my house for awhile so that I can be glad to come back and be nice to them. I haven’t figured it out yet, so instead I’ve been playing the above song on my Vocal Point cd. It has been cathartic to sing along.
