I am surely glad I found this poet/writer by serendipity.
I do understand the reference to stripes, leaves, stars and bars....
Good job Randall. You have a new tracker....

When my youngest brother became a father many years ago I remember what he said to me: "I don't want to set the world on fire. I want to set his world on fire." My brother and sister-in-law have two wonderful children, a boy and a girl. Both are in college. Believe me it wasn't easy. There was a lot of old fashion parental tough love involved but everything turned out okay.

Soon my niece and nephew will be out on there own with a good foundation from their mother and father to build on.

Like finding a deserted tropical island, no need to get farther into the vast seas, you have beached on Paradise.
If you don't pollute it with silly decisions, you can live there forever.
