Neu duoc mot lan nua

Neu toi duoc mot lan nuoi day lai con minh,
Ngon tay toi se nhe nhang theo tung net ve, hon la dung de la mang ran de.
Toi se khong qua khat khe ma doc long yeu thuong ket noi,

Se roi mat khoi nhip tich tac dong ho met moi de ngam nhin the gioi vo bien,

Se cung con dao buoc rong choi, vui thu tha dieu giua bau troi gio long,

Se cung con thoai mai dua vui, ma khong can nang ne quan trong,

Se trai minh tren menh mong dong rong, ngam sao troi lap lanh dem dem,

Se vong tay au yem hon con nhieu hon nua, thay vi khoa ghi nam chat ban tay con.

Toi se song kien dinh hon thay vi mai cung ran,

Truoc tien toi se hoc cach ton trong ban than minh;

Roi toi se noi voi con it hon ve tinh yeu quyen luc,

Ma se noi nhieu hon ve suc manh cua tinh yeu.

If I had my child to raise over again

If I had my child to raise all over again,

I"d finger-paint more, and point the finger less.

I would do less correcting and more connecting.

I"d take my eyes off my watch, and watch with my eyes.

I would care to know less and know to care more.

I"d take more hikes and fly more kites.

I"d stop playing serious, and seriously play.

I would run through more fields and gaze at more stars.

I"d do more hugging and less tugging.

I would be firm less often, and affirm much more.

I"d build self-esteem first, and the house later.

I"d teach less about the love of power,

And more about the power of love.

There are only two lasting bequests we can hope to give our children. One of these is roots, the other wings.
