KIDS HEAR EVERYTHING

An original poem, written by Sandy McDaniel

            Don't take for granted how much children hear,

                        they are constantly tuned in,

                                    whether far --or near;

            Watch what you say every time you talk,

                        they're learning how the world works,

                                    in it, how to walk;

            If the TV is on, what can they hear?

                        Soap operas - some radio programs

                                    teach to live in fear;

            Listen! Their model is Y-O-U!

                        The words you use daily

                                    will be their words, too.
