A Special Place

If I could improve the world one space at a time I'd do it immediately I'd begin with love Banners and flags unfurled shouting out love and peace with it . I'd buy some land to build upon Five acres would do just fine I'd build a place where love exists and all hate and troubles are gone for both the young and old combined For I've known love and happiness From my loving and protective parents Yet far too many live in fear and heartbreak People get lost and many are homeless This is something we should prevent. As they get abused and are neglected Thrown away and forgotten by others Left to wander the streets alone or to die Those lost souls should be protected By being loved by their father and mother. Author Notes I really do want to do this, but all it takes is money and the place. I'd like to have it as a ranch style places set to help people of all walks of life and troubles. I'd make it a place to teach and learn all kinds of things. Bridging the gap between generations. Since both the younger generations are beaten and neglected and many times despised by those that gave them life. Then on the opposite genreation. The elderly, The same thing can happen. by their families and more often care givers. I want to have the place be self sufficient . the elderly people would teach the kids the ways of life when they grew up. sewing, farming, feeding animals. Living off the land. Baking bread and other great meals. Also some crafts. Then the kids could open up the world of technology and internet uses and even some of the games. Finding common ground and then building bonds of love and trust as well as respect for each other. Making a special family for them. They could even sell their baked goods or homemade items as well as fairs or flea markets etc. The theme would be loving hearts and helping hands. © Bonnie J Hollywood-Cutts.

I admire your good and noble intentions, Bonnie! You have some great ideas, too. In principle it is ideal; financing the project is when the problems arise. I would give you a helping hand were I to win the lottery, but I never gamble!:) All the best. // paul

Yes I totally agre. Which is why I've never been able to do it as of yet. I'd just love to see it happen here, Even if I;m not the one to do it. i was close to getting it going at one point. but the guy that had the interest in it with me. Died before we could sign the papers. We were going to sit down and get the property squared away. When his health got worse and he died before we could settle on a date and it was heart breaking to say the least. It is why I don't alwaus speak of it but write about it more . I have a few things that describe my desire to see this happen. I have them on various sites.

I hope so too. Even if it isn't me to do it but just someone taking my idea and doing it for those people. There are countless faces out there all over the world that could benefit from this type of thing.
