The Heart of Human:Alexis Karpouzos

CHILD is the heart of human...
Listen when they speak
Treat them kindly.
Comfort them when they cry.
Teach them devotedly.
Correct them compossionately.
Love them unconditionally.
Child is the defeat of death.

I have a grandson who will be 13. What you suggest, is how he was raised. He's a wonderful boy and the future of America, I have seen children's souls crushed like gnats in bot Chicago Public Schools and San Francisco schools. The agoy of watching that was hideous, Alex.

I enjoyed your poem. I am an educator and I felt your respect for young people through your writings. Sometimes I think people forget that kids/children are people with souls.
