When this song was pretty new (was released in 2000), I sang it to my niece when she was probably 4 or 5 years old, to get her to go to sleep. She asked me what all the words meant, so I told her they are bits of advice to put in her heart, hold in her mind, and act on when necessary. She didn't really get it, but for me, it was the best advice I could give her to tell her how much I love and care for her. She's now going on 24 years old on March 22nd, she's engaged, and she has a daughter that just turned 1 a few days ago. She remembered that moment when I sang to her, remembered the song, and said she gets it now. That fills my heart! Hopefully, she'll sing it to her daughter when she's old enough to keep it in mind and take the advice to heart!
