new mom poem or saying

hi!
this is just a repost from the parenting site, just throwing it out there in case anyone else has any ideas... TIA

......hi~
i just had a baby shower for a friend of mine and i am making her a scrapbook with pics from the shower. i was looking for a poem or saying for new/expecting mothers to put on the last page. any ideas or suggestions would be great. Thanks.

Here's one my mom has on a plaque at home?


Children Learn What They Live

. If a child lives with criticism
he learns to condemn.

If a child lives with hostility
he learns to fight.

If a child lives with ridicule
he learns to be shy.

If a child lives with shame
he learns to feel guilty.

If a child lives with tolerance
he learns to be patient.

if a child lives with encouragement
he learns confidence.

If a child lives with praise
he learns to appreciate.

If a child lives with fairness
he learns justice.

If a child lives with security
he learns to have faith.

If a child lives with approval
he learns to like himself.

If a child lives with acceptance
and friendship he learns to
find love in the world.
