What Shall We Give Our Children?
The open sky, the brown earth,
the leafy tree, the golden sand,
the blue water, the stars--
and an awareness of these.
Birdsong, butterflies, clouds, and
rainbows.
Sunlight, moonlight, firelight.
A large hand reaching down for a small one.
Impromptu praise, an unexpected
hug or kiss. A straight answer.
The joy of meaningful work.
The glisten of enthusiasm and
a sense of wonder.
Long days to be merry in and
nights without fear.
The memories of a good home.
But most of all, before it is too late,
our Time.
This was given to me when I was in college by one of my child development instructors. I keep it by my desk as a reminder of the type of parent my children need me to be.
The copy I have does not state an author but if anyone knows who wrote this I would love to know their name.

Thanks mama!
I am wondering though because a Dr. is thanked at the end of the part that I posted if someone else wrote the beginning part? Not sure but I at least now have a name to delve into it farther.
Daniel and me...obviously I forgot to smile
