A LIFE WITH LOVE "How is it so easy for you to be kind to people?" he asked... Milk and honey dripped from my lips and I answered, "cause people have not been kind to me." -rupi kaur My body ravaged, my mind a ruin, a desolate place. How can I not be kind, how can a myriad children learn to live a life with love, how? If no one, no one ever shows them now?

Sweetie - did you mean 'now' or 'how' for your last word? Both do work, I just want to be sure your keyboard didn't taint your intentions. Until today, I had no idea who Rupi Kaur was, now I know that he is a she and she is a is not a was and reading her online did very little for me, but she is young and I expect in time she'll be wisdom personified. Your poem seems to suit what I read about her and to echo what she very well might say about her own quote! Good luck always ... CayCay

Thank you CayCay. At first I had 'how'. But I changed it because I already had used that word earlier. I am still thinking about a better solution but have not found one yet :)
