love your children.
A GRAIN OF SALT Once you had a beautiful child like a grain of salt, you took her, you had a beautiful child given to you You never saw her,never adored her, never cherished her. As she was passing through she found a pasture in a painted picture; So she moved on Now she is gone,she has moved on. One day you saw a child playing in a field- in a painted picture,and remembered... That you once had a beautiful child who was never at fault-and with a grain of salt and a passionate heart- You could have loved her.
