Awesome, exactly the way I think :) 7& more. Except they don't have ratings anymore. Maybe they thought it was bullying to give less than 7 :)

Insight is a willed expression which can be sparked but can never be borrowed or lent. A beautiful write.

Pass the box round Armand...perhaps we can start emptying it before refilling it with some love, peace and understanding. Regards // paul

This is such an important message Armand. It is up to every parent and child caretaker to instill a love for humanity, a love for their body and to have sympathy and empathy for others. To be aware of our environment and so many other things. Children live what they learn and I am teaching my granddaughter these things. I will fave this my friend and hope it goes through. ; )

Indeed our children future do not sound so promising...I just am so concerned for my girl s future...At times I wish I could preserve her at this innocent age of four yrs old...An honest poem.Armand.
