The Twig - Both Audio and Text

Listen to poem:
This was my grandfather’s favorite saying, and I heartily concur - The Twig It’s true that, “As the twig is bent, so grows the branch”, my friend, And all we do and say affects the children that we “bend.” They learn from what they see and hear, so, when you get the chance, Please be very careful how you “start” that little branch. The end result means everything…and when the “small” is “big”… You’ll learn the true importance of --- the way you bent the twig. PS: I've now got 4 new Audio-CDs - @ 4 1/2 hours each = (62 diversely varied pieces). They’re listed on EBAY - under - “Mark Stellinga Poetry” - or available by simply contacting me at -- mark@writerofbooks.com -- should those of you who enjoy listening to poems as well as reading them - and particularly those of you that travel - care to be so entertained.
