Notes About The Poem

Maria

- Human Values -

The children are our future

Always relate to the truth

An inexperienced and true heart

Asks questions and requires an answer

They deserve your love and respect

We must create human values

First give them roots and later wings

~ Listen, believe and learn ~

Hi Anne-Lise, gentle words telling truths. We must give good foundations to our future. I always love the gentle way you put your thoughts down. They reach the heart of the reader so easily. Yes, human values must be taught for at the moment they are lost. Excellent work my friend. Has to be a fave. Hugs....Mike. XX

By seeing the picture, my eyes are soaked. Your heart is an universal heart, so you feel in this beautiful ways. You are blessed Woman, my dear lovely friend. We have lost human values long ago and till our sense is not matured to fell that as a whole. Except a few, we are living beings of flesh only perhaps. Thanks for sharing. Loved always, bl

Wise words indeed Anne Lise and in an ideal world it would be like this for all. Sadly not all children have the best start in life and this impacts on their life in so many ways. I wonder if you inspired by Whitney Houston's greatest love of all lyrics which are quoted below. Fab poem into my faves:-) hugs jan xx
