A christmas wish

This is from my four year old sunshine. my niece. my best friend Kuhu. A little gift to each and every one who reads this.

Dear grown ups,

My hands are small
– I don’t mean to spill my milk,

My legs are short –
Please slow down
so I can keep up

Don’t slap my hands
when I touch something bright and pretty
I don’t understand
Please look at me when
I talk to you,

Then I 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 what I do to be perfect –
Just love me for trying

Remember I’m a child not a small adult
sometimes
I don’t understand
what you are saying
I love you so much –
please love me for just being me
not
for the things I can do.

I love you
you are all that I have.

A four year old kid’s wish

  2. Beautiful…..
    So true isn't it? Something we tend to forget, when around children, is that, they are always watching us…trying to learn, understand and grow…Even when they don't seem to be paying attention….

    Thanks for sharing this one Riddhi..
