Symbiosis

In a circle Of first graders Who looked out With suspicious eyes On the playground Next to the jungle gym No breaching would realize A little hand Reached out to bravely Pull me inside His little heart Knew in protection Exclusion Still divides Perhaps as myself He's stood in the outs Or had earned some rank In the friendship scouts Whatever the reason for bravery shown he was and will be the clown fish to this prickly anemone

Oh yes. Have we not all been that vulnerable child and most, that comforting teacher? Thank you, Vicki, I love your poetry, too.

Symbiosis is a Greek compound word that means " living together ''. Unfortunately, it is not easy to achieve, unless one has the experience and the knowledge that helps one understand what another person goes through. A profound and well-written poem, dear Vickey! Be blessed!
