bunnie quoted Where the Sidewalk Ends by Shel Silverstein
DON'T TELL ME
Please don't tell me I should hug, Don't tell me I should care. Don't tell me just how grand I'd feel If I just learned to share. Don't say, "It's all right to cry," "Be kind," "Be fair," "Be true." Just let me see YOU do it, Then I just might do it too.
