Make the ordinary Come alive
Do not ask your
children
To strive for
extraordinary lives.
Such striving may seem admirable,
But it is a way of foolishness.
Help them instead to find the wonder
and the marvel of an ordinary life.
Show then the joy of tasting
tomatoes,
apples and pears.
Show then how to cry
when pets and people die.
Show then the infinite pleasure
in the touch of
a hand.
And make the ordinary come alive for them.
The
extraordinary will take care of itself.
William Martin
