IF I'LL HAVE MY CHILD TO RAISE...

*They are my nephews. Ang magkapatid na Christian Ace and John.


IF I'LL HAVE MY CHILD TO RAISE,

I'D BUILD SELF ESTEEM FIRST,
AND THE HOUSE LATER.

I'D FINGER PAINT MORE,
AND POINT THE FINGER LESS.

I WOULD DO LESS CORRECTING
AND MORE CONNECTING

I'D TAKE MY EYE OFF MY WATCH,
AND WATCH WITH MY EYES.

I WOULD CARE TO KNOW LESS
AND KNOW TO CARE MORE

I'D TAKE MORE HIKES
AND FLY MORE KITES.

I'D STOP PLAYING SERIOUS,
AND SERIOUSLY PLAY.

I WOULD RUN THROUGH MORE FIELDS
AND GAZE AT MORE STARS.

I'D DO MORE HUGGING
AND LESS TUGGING.

I'D SEE THE OAK TREE IN THE ACORN MORE OFTEN,
AND AFFIRM MUCH MORE.

I'D MODEL LESS ABOUT THE LOVE OF POWER,
AND MORE ABOUT THE POWER OF LOVE.
