If I had my child to raise all over again
by Diana Loomans
If I had my child to raise all over again,
I'd build self esteem first, and the house later.
I'd fingerpaint 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'd do more hugging and less tugging.
I'd see the oak 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.
Daca ar trebui sa imi cresc copilul inca o data
As construi mai intai stima lui de sine si apoi o casa.
As picta cu degetele mai des si as arata cu degetul mai rar.
As corecta mai putin si as relationa mai mult.
Mi-as lua ochii de la ceas si i-as folosi la privit.
M-as ingriji mai putin sa invat si mai mult sa imi pese.
M-as plimba mai des si as inalta zmee.
Nu as mai fi serioasa, ci m-as juca cu adevarat.
As alerga prin campii si m-as uita la stele.
As imbratisa mai des si as smuci mai rar.
As privi mai des la stejarul din ghinda.
As fi ferma mai rar si as afirma mai des.
As fi mai rar o pilda a iubirii de putere
Si mai des o pilda a puterii iubirii.
