Yes, wonderful acrostic. We learn so much from our children. Brian, I am having technical trouble entering member contests and am waiting to hear back from PS, otherwise I would have entered your contest already. Hope they get back to me soon. Have a great day. Love, Shar

The acrostic form is perfect while the message of innocence comes through truthfully and clearly with your words. Have a great day my friend and thank you for you welcome comments. Michael
