1. My life is likely to last
10-15 years. Any separation from you is likely to be painful.
2. Give me
time to understand what you want of me.
3. Place your
trust in me. It is crucial for my well-being.
4.
Don't be angry with me for long and don't lock me up as punishment. You
have your work, your friends, your entertainment, but I have only you.
5. Talk to
me. Even if I don't understand your words, I do understand your voice
when speaking to me.
6. Be aware
that however you treat me, I will never forget it.
7. Before you
hit me, before you strike me, remember that I could hurt you, and yet,
I choose not to bite you.
8.
Before you scold me for being lazy or uncooperative, ask yourself if
something might be bothering me. Perhaps I'm not getting the right
food, I have been in the sun too long, or my heart might be getting old
or weak.
9. Please
take care of me when I grow old. You too, will grow old.
10. On the
ultimate difficult journey, go with me please. Never say you can't bear
to watch. Don't
make me face this alone. Everything is easier for me if you are there,
because I love you so. ALWAYS!
