When I look at a patch of dandelions, I see a bunch
of weeds that are going to take over my yard. My kids see
flowers for Mom and blowing white fluff, you can wish
on.
When I look at an old drunk and he smiles at me, I
see a smelly, dirty person who probably wants money and I look
away. My kids see someone smiling at them and they smile
back.
When I hear music I love, I know I can't carry a
tune and don't have much rhythm so I sit self consciously and
listen. My kids feel the beat and move to it. They sing out
the words. If they don't know them, they make up their
own.
When I feel wind on my face, I brace myself
against it. I feel it messing up my hair and pulling me back
when I walk. My kids close their eyes, spread their arms and
fly with it, until they fall to the ground
laughing.
When I pray I say thee and thou and grant me
this, give me that. My kids say, "Hi God!!! Thanks for my toys
and my friends. Please keep the bad dreams away tonight.
Sorry, I don't want to go to Heaven yet. I would miss my Mommy
and Daddy."
When I see a mud puddle I step around it. I
see muddy shoes and clothes and dirty carpets. My kids sit in
it. They see dams to build, rivers to cross and worms to play
with.
I wonder if we are given kids to teach or to
learn from?
