Live, Experience, Discover, Give

As children life is just a game we play, Learning new lessons as we live each day. Year after year as we grow and mature, We sense that there’s more than to just endure. We must have a purpose and not just fun, Something worthwhile to pass on when we’re done. Something to show others, we understand, Encouraging words to be all that they can. A guiding light as they live their own life, Words that will help during struggle and strife. Tell them of the common things that we share, Demonstrate our love so they know we care. Then pass on our truth as we say farewell, Like teachers taught us, we should show and tell.

I think this is what we have to answer for when we reach heaven "Demonstrate our love so they know we care." - whether or not we did it.

Hello Bill ... very good indeed. We can't expect children to rely on instinct. They must be taught through home or at school for that purpose otherwise they may become feral - thank you Bill - Lindsay

A very apt title for a well penned- poem. We all need a sense of purpose in our lives. And everyone flourishes when they have been loved and cared for. Good teachers make for good students. I hope you are keeping well, Bill Take care, Shirley
