The listening passage(poem)
“ Dad , what is meant by ‘ a family ’ ?
Is it you and Mom, the others and me ?”
“No son, it’s more , much more than that .
It’s little Sue’s curls , and mother’s new hat ;
Jackie’s face when she learns she is able To help your mother in setting the table .
Your first little drawings that we store away To cherish and gaze at some future day;
Your mother’s lost look on your first day of school ;
Learning to live by the ‘ Golden Rule ’.
It’s fireside stories on many a night , The feeling we have that everything’s right ;
The trials and errors , the laughter and tears
That touch us all , down through the years
It’s all of these things, it seems to me , Which , my son , make a family . ”
Paula S . Dickinson
