Ten Times To I.

To love, to be loved

To pray, pray, pray

To live curious and discover that the world is as awesome as it can be

To care an awful lot for our planet

To seek and pursue what is meaningful and true

To respect small people, to respect big people

To think left, to think right, to think low and to think high

To stay in the healthy shape you are in

To be the youest, you!

To say please, to say thank you!

Drafted this as D.'s "thank you" and "wish" speech during I.'s Dr. Seuss themed first birthday party. Certain lines were borrowed from Arundathi Roy (first line) NatGeo and Discovery Channel slogans (third line) and a lot of paraphrasing from various Dr. Seuss books.
