IF I HAD MY CHILD TO RAISE OVER AGAIN

                                                             Diane =
Loomans

If I had my child to raise all over again,
I'd build self-exteem first, and the house later.
I'd fingerpaint moreee, and point the finger less.
I owuld do less correcting and more connecting.
I'd take my eye off my watch and watch with my eyes.
I would care to know less and know to care moree.
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'd do more hugging and less tugging.
I'd see theoak tree in the acorn more often.
I would be firm less often, and affirm much more.
I'd model less about the love of power,
And more about the power of love.
