Please Mom and Dad

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 bright and pretty - I don't understand.

Please look at me when I am talking to you - It let's me know you're listening.

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

Don't except the bed or the pictures I draw to be perfect - Just love me for trying.

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

I love you so much - Please love me just for being me - not just for the things I can do!!!!
