Back to court next monday... Thanks for this, the timing is plumb, the words are wise. I pray he realises. Sorry to be self indulgent.
But she has a gagging order that I can't write, be it poetry, or anything about a certain lovely person... Even though ********* enjoys it..

Beautifully, thoughtfully expressed, Karen, well done. One negative word can bring a child's world crashing down around them--I know.

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.

This is so true and expressed so beautifully! I love this and really "feel" it in my commitment to being the kind of mother my daughter needs me to be. We need to be good stewards of honor and truth so that these virtues can remain strong and clear, generation after generation. Your poem should be posted on every parent's wall.

For all that was done in our earliest years
Can haunt us as we �become�

I believe we all truly are products of our childhood environments, and the right teachers, role models, and mentors can make all the difference in the world.

Wise true words . You've captured it all. Many children learn what they live, live what they preceive. It is up to adults to help them see the the otherside , sadly that doesn't always happen tho, and the child remains lost in their own intrepratation of things............M

Splendid sentiments Karen! I agree with every word! I was truthful with my boys and expected the same from them and by the time they reached high school I knew I could trust them to be honorable. It is something parents should teach from the earliest age,and stick to it.
Superb poem!
