A Song for Scared Children

Necessity is the mother of invention. Or maybe...desperation is the mother of creativity. When your child is scared and won't listen to reason, you pick up your Ukulele and start singing about it. Last night I started playing with some ideas for a song for my children for when they are scared beyond reason. Which means I had fun with a lot of verses and part of a chorus -- just winging it. Some stuff made sense. Some was cheesy. Some didn't rhyme, but all in all I loved it and my 10 yr old son (not the scared child) loved it so much he got pencil and paper to write some of the lyrics down and would actively sing a long. Perfect! My scared child didn't appreciate it and kept saying, "This isn't helping!" Hopefully this is one I will finish and my children will learn it because I play it so often for them. But, even if I don't finish it, its creation was complete yesterday.
