IfIHadMyChildToRaiseAllOverAgain

I would build self-esteen first,
and the house later

I would finger paint more,
and point my finger less

I would do less correcting,
and more connecting

I would take my eyes off the watch,
and watch more with my eyes

I would care to know less,
and know to care more

I would take more jikes
and fly more kites

I would stop playing serious
and seriously play

I would run through more fields
and gaze at more stars

I would do more hugging
and less tugging

I would see the oak tree
in the acorn more often

I would be firm less often
and affirm much more

I would model less about the "Love of Power"
and more about the "Power of LOVE"
