Being Human Birthed to the world through a woman’s womb Experiencing the trials and joys of growing each day Individuality and identity take place along the way Naiveté and innocence goes forever astray Grown up you are and the child’s gone away Humble human hearts beat longer they say Under much less modern stress Managing the daily trials and lifelong tests At times of pleasant recreation, work and rest Never turning from the God who knows what’s best 7/5/16 Contest 244 Brian Strand

A beautiful Acrostic, Janis. I too love the way you began with child in the womb and continued through the journeys of life, and also with your tribute to God who created our 'humanness.' Congratulations on your nice placement. 7 Hugs, Sandra

Congratulations Janis. I didn't think the baby was yours, it just reminded me of how life is precious. Maybe I am still not getting it? Cheers on your high placement! 7 ; )

Connie, when you commented on My Little Man, you though he was mine and I replied to your comment that i was his first grade teacher. That was what I was referring to. Thanks for your comments and your rating.
