They're Watching Me

everyday

… they watch me eat and learn how to eat well …
… they see me drink, responsibly …
… they hear me speak and learn how to communicate …
… they know the words I don’t use, and they don’t use them either …
… they look at the way I use a car, and know there are alternatives …
… they watch me use the computer …
… they see me work at a job I enjoy, and they understand the value of education …
… they visit family and friends with me, and they appreciate them …
… they have seen me angry, and know that anger is okay, but violence isn’t …
… they know sometimes I cry, and that it is okay to be sad, difficult times pass …
… they play games with me, some days they win, and some days, they lose …
… they see me take care of the pets, and do it, too …

… they’re my kids …
