One of the toughest
things to teach lil kids
is the need to share
among other kids.
I’m not quite sure if
we’re all born selfish.
If so, then curing
that would be my wish.
Til then, I’ll teach them
to share all I can.
In hopes that it sticks
and they understand.
Today at the park:
three kids and two swings.
You can imagine
what that ratio brings.
We all sat around
until one kid shared.
For quite some time there,
they just sat and stared.
Eli cried the most
as he was quite sad,
but when TJ shared
ev’ry one was glad.
My eyes welled with tears,
as my lil boy said,
“I love to share, Dad.”
with a nodding head.
