Watching

someone is watching

looking up to you

someone notices

all you do

someone is listening

hearing your words

learning to speak

repeating every sound

someone is following

wherever you lead

watching your steps

trying to fill them

someone needs your love

counts on your compassion

craves your attention

needs you to validate them

someone is watching

trying to grow

becoming exactly

what they learn from you

It is easy to understand that children learn from their parents.  What is not always remembered is that everyone in your life is watching you.  Everyone is learning something from you.  And you are learning from everyone around you.  What we share with each other determines the world around us.  What are you contributing to this world?
