Simple Thoughts

Building blocks for future generations
Despite discrepancies of daily needs
Understanding others situations
Sharing overcomes the power of greed
In childlike innocence there is no race
As hunger thwarts one's willingness to learn
He will not let the extra go to waste
In adolescence shows he is concerned
A simple word is so significant
Gaining knowledge at an early age
Together solving problems makes such sense
The lessons learned will last them all their days
If we could see the world through children's eyes
Simplicity is where solutions lie



    an original poem by Daniel Turner

Timothy Hicks Date: 4/9/2016 10:19:00 PM It's the simple thoughts that make the greatest impact ... our problem is making things too complicated! Awesome poem that encapsulates the photo very well ... I wrote for this theme too, but it ended up being much longer, and so probably won't place ... but I'm happy with it nonetheless.
