Childhood

Listen to poem:

    It's  a very important box
    one we will be passing on.

    bombs
    pollutionglobalwarming
    warslotsofwarshate
    racismbullyingguns
    narcissismfakefood
    liesisolationismvirus 
    badrolemodelssugar
    tonprescriptiondrugs
   

    Our children's future
    what will we fill it with?

Connie Marcum Wong Date: 11/28/2016 12:20:00 AM 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. ; ) Login to Reply
