If it weren't for kids, have you ever thought?, there wouldn't be no Santy Claus...

 or, "Look what the stork just brought!", thank God for kids ...

And we'd all live in a quiet house, without a Big Bird, or a Mickey Mouse, (or Kool-Aid stains on the couch!), thank God for kids...

Thank God for kids, there's magic for awhile... a special kind of sunshine in a smile. Did you ever stop to think or wonder why?, the closest thing to Heaven is a child ...

When I get down on my knees tonight, and thank the Lord for the morning light, I pray they turn out right... thank God for kids...

My niece told me recently I sound like RINO ... Turns out it's Rhino, a bad guy with a gravely voice** in the the Spiderman junior series. Whew.  I thought at first she was calling me a McCain!

* In my defense, we were playing and I was doing voices... (Natural voice is Midwestern nasal twang/drawl maybe, but not deep or gravelly...)
