In Compass
. for public domain
( A salute to Greta Thunberg )
Children have but little wisdom
to guide us when to war.
Rarely show they seamen
their safest route to shore.
But like the heart has reason
of which great minds know naught, *
little hearts provide a compass
to guide the rule of thought.
". . . and a little child shall lead them," **
so sayeth Good Words of Gold.
Beware of what your child says,
but listen when the truth is told.
* "The heart has its reasons which reason knows nothing of... We know the truth not only by the reason, but by the heart." - Blaise Pascal
** Isaiah 11:6
