Child Vs Adult

A child gets hurt
  He screams... He cries
  It may seem to him he's about to die

An adult gets injured 
  He shrugs it off... He's no creampuff
  He's got a job to do -- He's gotta be tough

Ask yourself two questions honestly
  Who's got more sense? Who behaves stupidly?

Thinking about your poems and about your love for 'your kids' at school, I see why this is a FAVE for you. (I kind of like it too). Thank you for the support, Caren, and Best Wishes, Gershon
