If you would be a wise parent
be careful in all you do and say.
Know that each action,
each word
has its effect.
Be alert and mindful,
ving fully in each present moment.
Treat your children with courtesy
as you would treat a guest.
Be ready in a moment
to let go of one plan
and embark on another
if you inner voice so urges.
Have room within your heart
to hear the voice of both
your children
and your own spirit.
Do not expect fulfillment
from events of people
outside yourself.
Welcome and accept things as they are.
Welcome and accept children as they are.
*Treat yourself with gentle care.
These qualities emerge naturally,
not by force of will
