Children are all the same continent to continent.
Innocent, impressionable; full of youthful exuberance
And wide-eyed wonder.
They're endlessly curious about the world
Around them; sponges absorbing
All that their minds can conceive. They internalize
Things said, repeat words they hear, imitate
Behaviors they observe.
To raise good children, parents must teach them
Family values, proper etiquette, good manners,
Communication skills required to function
In today's society. They're receptive to acts
Of kindness and compassion.
Children are all the same continent to continent.
Innocent, impressionable; full of youthful exuberance
And wide-eyed wonder.
They all want the same things: reassurance, freedom
To explore and discover, love, comfort, encouragement,
Protection, guidance, attention. They need people
To play with, be it other children or with grown-ups;
Preferably their parents.
They imbibe virtues such as respect, fairness,
And honesty, regardless of national origin, race, religion,
Or language. They comprehend gestures of genuine
Friendship, and they're perceptive enough to immediately
Detect hints of insincerity or instability.
Children are all the same continent to continent.
Innocent, impressionable; full of youthful exuberance
And wide-eyed wonder.

1st Cor 15:33
" Be not deceived: evil communication corrupts good manners."
Warring with worldly whims
Wooed by painful pleasures
Surrounded by foes and fiends
Posing as mentors and friends.....
I have stumbled and rumbled in vices
Destructive to my wellness
In this the comforter was silenced
For in vices not in virtues it suffers.....
I mingled and dined with Ahithophel and Jonadab
Their counsel placed me in darkness, as it intensified in my heart..
In humility and obedience,
My clothing were turned to wool.
In fellowship I met Jonathan and Ruth
And they fed me with Galatian fruits
In this my being became nourished....
In their counsel I became a victor.
1st Cor. 15:33
The Beast: The smoke is in the opposite direction of me . ..... .. .
When I look at myself in the cracked mirror,
At first glance, I'm hideous as hell on Mount Everest! I’m not looking my best
Enraged out of all control
Sorry for discouraging myself in front of you –
At least I’m not head over heels over myself and my looks, which could crack any mirror that reflects my every revolting feature –
My body, my face, my everything!
The Beauty (Belle): Don’t talk that way, you modest, negative Beast!
The sweet aroma of flower blossoms is heading my direction!
I’m thrilled to have you and I sharing our affection, healing my infection in my heart – you saved me from the guy with a muscular and hairy body by the name of Gaston!
Thanks for allowing me to go the opposite direction!
He said weird, flirtatious things that made me speechless, yet uncomfortable
I'm beautiful now! Thanks for this gift of such a precious dress! I must confess I fell in love with it!
Everything works out in the end, even if I go through obstacles again and again –
You’re always there, my most beloved, furry friend!
Let’s run an errand…shall we do so? I don’t mean to offend!
The Beast: Teach me how to read!
I need to be taught good manners, especially at the table as you saw my poor manners last night at the dinner table!
Teach me to have a good way of living by being a proper, gentle, kindhearted, intelligent, and independent human being like you…
I bet you and I will have a good future spent with each other…
I know I was mean and cruel, but I’ve changed for the better just for your sake!
Can you join me for dinner!
The Beauty (Bell): Sure. Why not?
The Beast: *in his head* I think we’re meant to be with each other forevermore!
The Beauty (Belle): *in her head* You’re the one that I cherish and adore – just like reading a new, enchanting series…I can’t help, but fall victim to your well-spoken words and I’ve read books that were a similar genre to you, however, they weren’t as well-written, wondrous, and wonderful like yours.
Belle: Can you help me with my chores, my darling Beast?
The Beast: Sure! I’ll do anything for you! I’d transform into a human…all for you, sweetheart…..
~Good Manners~
(Rhyme Verse)
It is good to have manners
And I'am refering to good ones
It's great to say 'Thank you'
When you get something from someone
Good manners you can always
Cultivate them in your talk
You can learn them all
In your life as you walk
This wonderful process should
Begin when the kids are small
Parents should teach all
Their children good manners
These days we don't meet
Many children with good manners you see
Most of them act rude and that's a shame
And that goes for teens and adults too

---------------------------------------------
Three sisters - two as lovely as the dawn,
the third, a travesty of face and form
and we - a trio of fine gentlemen,
(to all but former flames, who'd disagree!)
Like Musketeers, we fellows made a set -
one for us all and all of us for one!
So too, these ladies, we learned with dismay,
which left us with no choice but to draw lots...
Good manners and good breeding tantamount,
we chose three cards and tossed them in a hat -
two Queens and one that we had scratched to white
(which would, of course, prescribe the oafish girl)
At times, one is the cart... at times the ox
This night, a beast of burden I became
The first man pulled a heart, the next, a spade
but last to choose - alas! I drew a blank!
---------------------------------------------
My Bus Journey
Getting on the bus to go into town
Ten passengers standing up, twenty sitting down
The card reader's faulty, won't recognise my bus pass
Youths standing at the bus stop banging on the glass
Unaccompanied children, probably going to gran's
Elderly couple opposite, sitting holding hands
Driver says he's running late and that he can't delay
Gives me no time to find a seat, before he's on his way
Can't find an empty disabled seat, even though I have a stick
Able-bodied people stay sitting in them, looking at me as if I’m thick
I stand in the aisle, swaying back and forth
I'm facing south, though the bus is travelling North
I try to turn to face the front but someone is standing in my way
Weighed down with an overstuffed backpack, that pummels me as I sway
Youths at the back, thinking they're ‘cock of the walk'
With their forbidden e-cigs and their filthy talk
We come to a standstill, young mother gets on, pushchair in her hand
Though there's already two buggies on, and she's going to have to stand
She stands at the front, right in between
The passengers stay put, you know what I mean
At the next stop, I want to get off
But those standing won't budge, they just stand there and scoff
I push my way through to the front of the bus
I get to the driver, I don't make a fuss
The driver says “Sorry, I can't make them move
Good manners are a thing of the past, as this journey did just prove”
Blame
yourself for
the things your
children say and do;
they got them from your
nasty looks, gestures and unkind words...
read them some stories from the Bible!
Mothers more than fathers should be their teachers;
no vile words they should speak, good manners count:
clean and obedient upbringing pave the way for future success,
discipline and behavior makes them stand out from other naughty kids!
All parents must play an important role in their children's lives,
if they do stupid things, correct them, not rebuke them;
nicknames aren't that funny and they will resent them,
have patience, teach them all the right ways
by allowing them to make some mistake!
Isn't perfection so hard to achieve?
Does that perfect one exist?
Human Nature has flaws,
fall and rise:
glory is
yours!

~Echoes of Yesterday~
Walking on the Boardwalk
on a hot, steamy, summer day.
In a two piece rose bathing suit,twas decades ago!
I was only seven and seeing the Atlantic,
for the very first time.
I loved the waves, oh !
I bought a dear bracelet that I still own.
With silver circular disks and sailboats in
each glistening so!
The salt water taffy was like manna from heaven.
To this French-braided young girl, only of seven.
Nobody dressed as oddballs or freaks I see today!
Not one person, a walking crayon nor a billboard
proudly,displaying a shirt with hate.
Kindness ,good manners, respect were forever in play.
And, tragically, I can't say the same for today.
So forgive me, if I truly don't understand this God hating,
negative, lost world.
My mind hungers for the once present sanity,
the love, the humanity and the lost sweetness.
Of a salt water taffy world.

Once we make the choice to bring a child into this world we have a duty to that child…as their life unfurls.
Yes, once the choice is made…the choice of child birth…it is our duty to help our children feel safe and happy during their stay upon this Earth.
Our duty to teach them right from wrong…how to respect the plants, the seas…the birds…
Our duty to teach them how our actions speak much louder are much valuable than our words.
Our duty to show them kindness and love…to help them thrive…to grow…to cope…
Our duty to teach them about honor and justice…our duty to fill their world with hope.
Our duty to show them what love and friendship look like…how promises we make are kept…
Our duty to teach them how to behave…what we will and will not accept.
Our duty to help them handle failure…to show them good manners are never outdated…
Our duty to show them how tenderness, compassion and a gentle heart can never be overrated.
Our duty to allow their imaginations to soar…to think for themselves and to admit when they are wrong. Our duty to show them how compromise and acceptance are two ways to prove that they are strong.
Our duty to give them the freedom to play, sing and dance…to draw, to paint, to write…our duty to show them the decisions and the choices they make will not alway be black and white.
And finally our duty to teach them how everyone is important, every life is precious…no matter their sex, color religion, or race…
for once we fulfill these duties…our world, their world, will be a more peaceful and happier place.
But the main reason we must fulfill these duties to our children…before our children are grown…is so they’ll understand the importance of these duties…when these duties become their duties alone.
"In my life thus far I have acquired wisdom
that I am going to share with youth of today
so here goes, best take notes . . ." by Poet
Obey your parents even when you know much more,
have good manners like thank you, your welcome, and please;
respect seniors because one day you will be one,
never lie, the truth is easier to remember;
don't condone violence, verbal or physical.
"In my life thus far I have acquired wisdom
that I am going to share with youth of today
so here goes, best take notes . . . "
Learn how to apologize with heart and mean it,
be silent when others are roaring in this life;
and be a true, true blue trustworthy, faithful friend,
see the lessons in failure and then try again;
never burn your bridges you may want to go back.
"In my life thus far I have acquired wisdom
that I am going to share with youth of today
so here goes, best take notes . . . "
Read books, discover art, poetry and music,
find the beauty in nature- the song of a bird;
go to bed early and get up early rested,
eat healthy and learn how to cook, could be useful,
believe in yourself and learn to stand alone strong.
"In my life thus far I have acquired wisdom
that I am going to share with youth of today
did you take notes? Because this is the end . . . "
Oh, lastly- keep a journal and take photographs!
