Let It Rain

(Jon Bon Jovi and Luciano Pavarotti, Modena, June 9th 1998)

Last night I had a dream that there would be a morning after
Long days, sunshine, and peace
Long nights of love, forgiveness, and laughter
Maybe it was just a dream but it could be reality
Children are like planting seeds, you’ve got to let their flowers grow
Don’t you know

Fà che piova, (Let it rain)
Fà che il cielo mi lavi il dolor (Let heaven wash away my pain)
Fà che piova (Let it rain)
che sia la pace il nome d'amor (That peace would be the name of love)

Through the rain I saw a child just like my child
Someone’s son or daughter
I watched as they played for a while
I wanted to cry, those babies just smiled
Maybe it was just a dream, but it should be reality
A child is just God’s sign that peace and love are seeds to make
tomorrow grow

Fà che piova, (Let it rain)
Fà che il cielo mi lavi il dolor (Let heaven wash away my pain)
Fà che piova (Let it rain)
che sia la pace il nome d'amor (That peace would be the name of love)

Go on, we’ve tried war
No one wants peace more
Than the children who ask their dads why

Fà che piova, (Let it rain)
Fà che il cielo mi lavi il dolor (Let heaven wash away my pain)
Fà che piova (Let it rain)
che sia la pace il nome d'amor (That peace would be the name of love)

Words to ponder...

Live neither in the past nor in the future, but let each day's work absorb your entire energies, and satisfy your widest ambition.

Sir William Osler

Kiss the rain

There is no greater blessing than knowing you are a child of God.

Helicopter parent

We as parents, should make it a point to do some mental inventory on how we can assess ourselves as parents. How does one fare as good parent? Do we keep track on how our children behave outside? Are they good children even without us to supervise them whether or not they behave properly? For me a dutiful mother is one who follows every step her child makes without making herself tagged as helicopter mom or parent. Yes we can do that by having a strong foundation built with trust and love wherein the child is free from our hovering nags and fault-findings. Cultivate and nurture the friendship ties between you and your child so as not to make him feel that you are trying to manipulate them and making them feel like puppets.It can be done, if you try your most. Of course no child will feel good when the parent is hovering.

" A friend is one to whom one may pour out all the contents of one's heart, chaff and grain together, knowing that the gentlest of hands will take and sift it, keep what is worth keeping and with a breath of kindness blow the rest away."
- Arabian Proverb
