THOMAS PAINE AND PEACE

I am grateful for the words on Thomas Paine…
whose words, like me, are a little old and time-worn…
but convey every parents’ dream from the time our children are born.

It is a dream we parents have…a dream that will never cease:

‘I prefer peace.
But if trouble must come let it come in my time
So that my children can live in peace.’
