love is spelled T-I-M-E

The precious gifts a child desires involve time.
Time to:
pause with me...when others are hurrying by
walk with me...when others find themselves running
talk with me...when others prefer shouting
listen to me...when others can find only frowns
play with me...when others prefer to be entertained
praise me...when others can find only fault           
read with me...when others prefer television
learn from me...when others have forsaken curiosity
study with me...when others show little interest in schoolwork
forgive me...when others are expecting perfection
hug me...when others fail to sense the power of touch

对孩子而言，爱的写法是 T-I-M-E.
孩子渴望得到的珍贵礼物包括时间。
有时间…
跟我一起驻足——当别人匆匆而过时
同我一起漫步——当别人疲于奔命时
与我轻声交谈——当别人歇斯底里时
聆听我的心声——当别人愁眉紧锁时
同我一起嬉戏——当别人宁愿接受娱悦时
请尽情表扬我——当别人只顾挑剔错误时
跟我一起读书——当别人选择看电视时
向我学点东西——当别人已摈弃好奇心时
同我一起学习——当别人对课业毫无兴趣时
对我宽容一些——当别人苛求完美时
给我个拥抱吧——当别人无法体会到身体接触的力量时
