Promising Excellence
If I had my child to raise all over again, I'd nger paint more, and point the nger less. I'd do less correcting, and more connecting. I'd take my eyes off my watch, & watch with my eyes. I would care to know less, and know to care more. I'd take more hikes and y more kites. I'd stop playing serious, and seriously play. I'd run through more elds, and gaze at more stars. I'd do more hugging, and less tugging. I would be rm less often, and afrm much more. I'd build self-esteem rst, and the house later. I'd teach less about the love of power, And more about the power of love. It matters not whether my child is big or small, From this day forth, I'll cherish it all. - Diana Loomans
