Just Wondering

   
      from a mother’s love come children who behave

          why’s the world then filled with knaves

I love this, but free will comes into play as each person reaches adulthood.

You mean, we still have free will in this country? I don't feel free at all anymore. As a religious Jew, I feel hunted by the entire Democrat Party, in addition to the Arab crazies.

A mother can do her best (some don’t). Still, children go out into the world and must decide who they will follow…God or idols.

That's right. Too many buck Mom and Dad these days. The influence of the church has decline precipitously over my lifetime.

You are making the reader think. That is a good thing. A kid needs both a mother/father. Have a blessed/great day writing away...........

I agree: Thinking is a good thing, esp. 'now and then.' ~ gw

Gershon, I think I have an answer: ...because fathers left and children lost their way. Love your work, Gershon.

Very good, Tom! Excellent point.

Agreed, Tom. Fathers make a bigger difference than the world -- and many women these days -- admit. Peace, Gershon
