Description

A Mother’s Day tribute, (useful at any time of year), based on the melody and music of the awesome Louis Armstrong classic, “A Wonderful World.”

Amid all the claims and counterclaims about the roles and makeup of the modern family, one constant remain: the very best combination to nurture children are active, committed and growing-each-day-in-the-craft mother lady and father man, showing the femininity and the masculinity so very important in role-modeling. We realize that, as someone once said, “not all parents graduate at the top of their class” but that is the status and goal for which all should both aim, and work constantly to achieve. We compassionately recognize that some children will grow up without the advantage of one or more parents. In which case, nowhere are the words of Christ more clear and meaningful than in directing those around to attempt to be there in support.

This script is written to assist kids of all ages, (including those in their adult years), to offer a constant tribute and generate salute to mothers.

Sample Song lyrics: 

I wanna say

My Mom’s so fine

Makes me feel great, I’m glad she’s mine

Wanna tell ya right now

‘Bout my wonderful Mom.

When the day is yuck

Each day’s a fight

Positive strokes

Both day’n night

But I’ll be OK

With my wonderful Mom

In the times we are a’livin’. . . .
