THE IMPORTANCE OF SHARING
How important is it for our children to learn how to share?
to give…to receive…to take turns?
It just might be the most important lesson they will ever learn.
Sharing teaches kindness and generosity…
It engulfs us like a glove….
It is especially important in life…
when it comes to sharing love.
There are many kinds of love…
diverse, beautiful…and freeing…
like the kind of love we share with another human being.
We start by sharing a look…then a smile…a little conversation…
Sharing with another person allows us to build a strong foundation.
We share time together…a touch…a kiss…a laugh
and when we know our sharing will never end
we share rings and vows…an apartment…a house…
children and good friends.
After sharing so much support, and joy and love
we stop every now and then to think how lucky we are
and to thank our destiny and the heavens above…
We think how truly blessed we are…
to live a life so magnificent…so sublime…
when we realize in all these years of sharing a life…
we’ve shared a whole lifetime.
And after sharing so many moments we can no longer count…
moments we’ve been excited, surprised…
cried and laughed and smiled…
we stop to remember
and to thank…
those who taught us how to share…
when we were just a child.
