A Child's Point of View

---

My hands are small - I don't mean to spill my milk.

My legs are short - please slow down so I can keep up with you.

Don't slap my hands when I touch something pretty - I don't understand.

Please look at me when I talk to you - it lets me know you are really listening.

My feelings are tender - don't nag me all day - let me make mistakes without feeling stupid.

Don't expect the bed I make or the picture I draw to be perfect - just love me for trying.

Remember I am a child, not a small adult - sometimes I don't understand what you are saying.

I love you so much - please love me just for being me - not for the things I can do...
