IF I HAD MY CHILD TO RAISE OVER AGAIN...

I would finger paint more, and point my finger less.

I would do less correcting, and do more connecting.

I would take my eyes off my watch, and watch with my eyes.

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

I would take more hikes, and fly more kites.

I would stop being serious, and seriously play.

I would run through more fields, and gaze at more stars.

I would do more hugging, and much less tugging

I would disagree less often, and be agreeable much more.

I would build self-esteem first, then build a house later.

I would teach less about the love of power, and more about the power of love.

Every day is a blessed day, done over and over in every way.

Only because they grow up so fast, days soon to be in the past.

So you see... if I had my child to raise over again.
