White Belt...Three Stars

The other night I went to watch my granddaughter Jaime Lee's Tae Kwon Do lesson. She is the little blonde in the centre of the pictureI listened to this group of four, five and six year olds repeat their creed before starting class and bowing as a mark of respect to their instructors and each other and thought to myself...what a better world our future may be if more children and adults too for that matter would follow this type of creed and training. If anyone is interested look up the creed and see what I mean...

White Belt…Three Stars

 

Little girls and boys in a row

Wearing sweet purity of white

Learning their Tae Kwon Do

Yes, I guess learning how to fight

 

Poppy’s heart filled with pride

As he watches little Jaime Lee

Twist and turn and tumble

Using fist, and foot and knee

 

This world is not always kind

Good against evil everywhere

She’s learning to stand strong

So she won’t have to live in fear

 

“It’s so much else she tells me

A search for truth they also seek

Discipline over mind and body

To stand up for the old and weak

Not for our own use martial arts

We stand for justice and freedom for all

Poppy it makes us stronger people

And make this world better overall”l

 

I hugged my little Jaime Lee

Like I never wanted her to go

Now she’s got me thinking of joining

This thing called Tae Kwon Do…

HI,

I really like this poem and it's many layers...she's lucky to have a wonderful grandfather who can understand her. My son has been asking for Tae Kwon Do, he's from Korea. I think you should, I really think you should join your granddaughter and try it!
Blessings,
Christine

My best friends kids are all three black belts, being in the Karate classes since they were very young...one is now done with college, one is about to graduate college and the other is a junior in high school and all three are great adults and have learned a great deal of patience and compassion for others from their interaction with that class all these years...great story, Ed
