Has anyone seen this before

[Crystalchic]

I am going through my chest where I save poems and other stuff for keeps sake
I found this poem it is very old
I dont recall ever writing it
has anyone ever seen this before




Dear Mom and Dad,

My hands are little --

I don't mean to spill my milk,

My legs are short --

Please - slow down so I can keep up with you,

When I touch something bright and shiny,

Please don't slap my hands.

Please look at me when I talk to you.

I just need to know you're listening.

Let me make mistakes without feeling stupid --

My feelings are delicate.

Please don't expect the bed I made to be perfect --

Just Love me for trying.

Remember, I am a child -- not an adult.

Sometimes I don't understand the things you say.

Please just love me for being me,

Not for the things I can do.

I love you mom and dad. You're all I have.

I know I've read that before. I can't remember if it was something the preschool teachers have circulated or if I read it in an inspirational book, like the Chicken Soup for the Soul series. I'll keep a lookout for it...

That has been around forever. Maybe a Dear Abby or Ann Landers column.
