What Children Need

For some joys it will soon be too late. Spend time with your kids now; don't wait! Read them stories; play some ball. Be right there when they fall. "I'm busy," you say. But, Mom, go play. Dad, join in while you can. April 22, 2017 May 2017 placed 6th in Constance LaFrance's Form N contest

Great piece, Janice. I like the continuity of rhymes, which is not easy to do in Nonet. Best of luck with the contest. Regards, John.

The best thing we can give our children is our time. I work as a nanny, (my children are all grown up) and spend all day in their imaginary world.... fabulous. Great write Janice
