If I Had my Child to Raise Over Again
by Diane Loomans
If I had my child to raise over again
I would build self-esteem first and the house later
I would finger paint more and point the finger less
I would do less correcting and 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 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.
