~To Raise Over Again~

If I had my child to raise again,
I'd build self-esteem first,
And the house later.

I'd finger paint more,
And point the finger 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 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'd care less about the love of power,
And more about the power of love.
