Encouragement

When i was young i never cared, Went to school just sat and stared ,No one 
there to encourage me ,Thought's for my future i did not see .No one made me 
go to school, I thought it was great I thought i was cool, Now im older i know i 
was a fool, I would have done better with some praise ,Those words of 
encouragement you did not say ,Even a hug when i done well It would have felt 
great. would have been swell. I learned something from those days. To feel my 
childrens hearts with lots of praise. Encourage them all the way ,Its all in the little 
things you do, and the little things you say.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
