Understanding

understanding hearts is what the world needs to today in its tangle of broken dreams. dreams are what life is made of america expounds as we never stop to taste the sweetness of the corn that fills our bellys. "make a bigger, brighter step for all mankind." WE WHINE. yet we never appreciate the ones we have crushed in our climb. "we will be the first in every nation", we exclaim...... forgetting that the first usually dies earliest in most every game. by janetta 1982

How right you are, Janetta! It's the ones on the front lines who die first and we often neglect to display understanding and humility. Excellent Poem. Love, Carolyn
