Lifetime Memories.....for our children  
Pause with your child-when others hurry by; 
Walk with your child-when others are running; 
Talk with your child-when others prefer shouting; 
Listen to your child-when others appear preoccupied; 
Smile with your child-when others can find only frowns; 
Play with your child-when others prefer to be entertained; 
Praise your child-when others can find only fault; 
Learn from your child-when others have forsaken curiosity; 
Dream with your child-when others have become cynical; 
Read with your child-when others prefer television; 
Pray with your child-when others have lost faith; 
Apologize to your child-when others pretend perfection; 
Discipline your child-when others fail to establish limits; 
Hug your child-when others fail to sense the power of touch!
