Utmost Compassion and Care

Want to reach a child, teach him to care? To do everything with a gentle flair? Don't hover over over him 'til you're blue in the face Or lavish undeserved praise on him -- a complete waste! Show him the way, instead, in your every action and deed By modeling utmost compassion and care, plant the seeds Honor and speak well of your father and mother Your aunt and your uncle, your sister and brother Always consider how you'd like to be treated When communicating with others, even on Twitter By modeling daily the caring way to act and behave You'll raise a chlld to be proud of, from cradle to grave

What the world needs now, more than ever, is love sweet love (love that song..) and your inspiring and gentle poem provides a compassionate and caring poetic blueprint towards achieving this loving goal through teaching by setting a good example. A beautiful and meaningful message wrapped in the flair of your lovely verses, Gershon. Warmest wishes always my friend.. ~Susan

Susan, I believe that a book of your compassionate and caring comments would win the Nobel Prize for Literature! Thank you so much, my friend. Best wishes always, Gershon

I'm glad you think so. I just don't know what to say other than thank you (and flattery will definitely get you everywhere with me)! Appreciated. Best wishes, Gershon

You speak truth - so many dysfunctional people have children. This read could make a difference in someone's life - easily it could. Plus, beautiful lines, compelling rhymes and a fine delivery make it a pleasure to read. Poetry hugs ... CayCay

Just want to add that all I really hope for is to read my own lines and act on them. If anyone else does, it's 'gravy.' Your sincere, caring reaction is duly noted and most appreciated. Best wishes, Gershon
