If I had my child to raise again
If I had my child to
raise over again
I'd build self-esteem
first, and the house later.
I'd finger paint more
and point fingers less.
I would do less correcting
and more connecting.
I'd take my eyes off
my watch,
and watch with my
eyes.
I would care to know
less and know to care more
I'd take more hikes
and fly more kites.
I'd stop playing serious,
and seriously play.
I would run through
more fields
and gaze at more stars.
I'd do more hugging
and less tugging.
I'd see the oak tree
in the acorn more often.
I would be firm less
often
and affirm much more.
I'd model less about
the love of power,
And more about the
power of love.
