Accept me... when others engage in comparison
Pause with me... when others hurry by;
Walk with me... when others have too little time;
Listen to me... when others are too preoccupied;
Read with me... when others prefer television;
Talk with me... when others prefer shouting;
Praise me... when others can only find fault;
Believe in me... when others offer no encouragement;
Play with me... when others prefer to being entertained;
Discipline me... when others fail to set limits;
Learn with me... when others have forsaken curiosity;
Laugh with me... when other fail to see any humor;
Challenge me... when others accept less than my best;
Create with me... when others settle for ready-made;
Pray with me... when others have lost faith;
Hug me... and remind me how much I am loved;
Dream with me... and discover all I would like to be.
