TEACH A LITTLE MAN 👶👪

Teach a little man
To hold his brother’s hand.
Teach a little man
By his sister’s side to stand.
Teach a little man
To touch with gentle hands,
To ride the waves to land
Instead of drawing lines
In the shifting sands.

Teach a little man
To take little steps,
To walk with open eyes
And offer helping hands.
Teach a little man
That his words are his own
And by their impact
He will long be known.

Teach a little man to feel,
His heart not to conceal,
And that with his tears
He may come to heal.
Teach a little man
To be still, to stand,
To find a quiet place
To feel the wind upon his face.

Teach a little man to listen,
Hear the birdsong in the trees,
To touch the flowers in spring
And seek his inner peace.

Enséñale a un hombrecito
a tomar la mano de su hermano.
Enséñale a un hombrecito
a estar de pie junto a su hermana.
Enséñale a un hombrecito
a tocar con manos suaves,
a surcar las olas hasta la tierra
en lugar de trazar líneas
en las arenas movedizas.

Enséñale a un hombrecito
a dar pasitos,
a caminar con los ojos abiertos
y a ofrecer ayuda.
Enséñale a un hombrecito
que sus palabras son suyas
y que por su impacto
será reconocido por mucho tiempo.

Enséñale a un hombrecito a sentir,
a no ocultar su corazón,
y que con sus lágrimas
pueda sanar.
Enséñale a un hombrecito
a estar quieto, a estar de pie,
a encontrar un lugar tranquilo
a sentir el viento en su rostro.

Enséñale a un hombrecito a escuchar,
a oír el canto de los pájaros en los árboles,
a tocar las flores en primavera
y a buscar su paz interior.

    It’s crucial to distinguish men from children and stature and age. Neither are the same or interchangeable. Would a tall child be more a man than a not-so-tall man? Little people aren’t children.
    Best wishes.
