The Caring Clown

By Randy Christensen

The Caring Clown

- a clown who cares...

about children’s feelings
about making others look good

about individual’s displayed worth

-a clown who cares...

about a gentle touch as much, or more, than a slap or fall
about giving joy, rather than getting a cheap laugh
about hurts and heartaches as much as humor and hilarity

-a clown who cares...
about giving value to another’s opinion, thoughts, and personage by listening
about displaying someone’s specialness just by spending time with him

about preparing the way for other clowns by leaving a good taste in observer’s mouths.

-a clown who cares...
in nursing homes, children’s hospitals, daycare centers, churches, schools, prisons, birthday parties, circuses, foreign countries, street corners...

...everywhere showing care

-a clown who cares....
