Ignoring sparks and curious states,
Would learning ever truly take root?

Tolerance, not rote, a lesson grand,
Understanding hand in accepting hand.

After all this agony, I still believe.
Though my spirit suffered, I found relief.

Is your quandary as I resist.

on the breath of hopes
a child’s love
is the love that’s born

and while we may
surrender our grasp to
grant them leave -
to press their precious
