Glenn Campbell

Yes, I am probably too young and I am probably

going to sound like a dweeb by saying as a young

girl, I loved Glenn Campbell.

You have to remember I was the baby of 7 and the oldest

was 23 years older than me, so I had a wide range of music

to listen to and love.

I loved Glenn Campbell.

Last week as I was rocking one of the TES babies I

was thinking of an old Glenn Campbell song

and how it could be a mantra to life.

It made me go home and look up the words:

LET ME BE A LITTLE KINDER

LET ME BE A LITTLE KINDER

LET ME BE A LITTLE BLINDER

TO THE FAULTS OF THOSE ABOUT ME

LET ME PRAISE A LITTLE MORE

LET ME BE WHEN I AM WEARY,

JUST A LITTLE BIT MORE CHEERY

THINK A LITTLE MORE OF OTHERS

AND A LITTLE LESS OF ME.

LET ME BE A LITTLE BRAVER

WHEN TEMPTATIONS BID ME WAIVER

LET ME STRIVE A LITTLE HARDER

TO BE ALL THAT I SHOULD BE.

LET ME SERVE A LITTLE BETTER

THOSE THAT I AM STRIVING FOR

LET ME BE A LITTLE MEEKER

WITH THE BROTHER THAT IS WEAKER

THINK A LITTLE MORE OF OTHERS

AND A LITTLE LESS OF ME.

Is this not perfect lessons to live by?

It is my song of the week,

going to sing it in my head every time

I start to think I am better, that I don't have

patience. I am going to smile as I hear

Glenn Campbell sing in my head.
