A Salute To Good Children

A Salute to Good Children in Classroms Ususally, they are quiet and unassuming. They contribute by their glowing humility! And verily, are lessons for us all. On how to be! They don't act out as class clowns. And~ have no need to be big bullies. Here they come to your class. Well kept, loving and most unassuming. When the class goes berserk, They ask, "Is there anything I can do?" These are the children, who will clean Your erasers and boards for you. But sadly, we don't hear about them On the breaking news media! Only gang-bangers, killers and sex abusers. These all get fourth estate attention. Thus we, in our ignorance, believe the world is falling apart! When in reality, nations are filled with many children of very good hearts! Dedicated to my grandson..I love you.
