The soul is healed by being with children ~Fyodor Dostoyevsky~

When we are born We have no idea of anything Except that we love our little self In our perfect or not so perfect body Even if we cannot see or hear The bond of a mothers cradling Give us comfort and unconditional love We sense the greater things around us The world has yet to corrupt us Everything is a new adventure A new discovery As we start to grow When we are nurtured well We understand unconditional love Even if nature can be cruel towards us No matter how many times we fell And as we grow We can ask questions That even a wise soul Has no answer for… The beauty of a child Is incomprehensible They can be happy They don’t yet see wrongs in life We unnecessarily worry about their future Will they be self-sufficient Will they be happy or ill When we need to know they are someone today Teach your children well Teach kindness, compassion Teach charity, and patience Because they are life’s miracle And if you don’t believe in miracles Look at the bundle wrapped before you With their wandering eyes And then remember... you are a miracle too Carolee Dennis-Woosley May 9, 2014

sometimes a child can only teach itself since no adult can truly identify with the child's state of mind ... especially if the child considers things adults usually can't ... though having a loving and inspired adults around can never be a detriment and is sometimes an amusement ... the told me i was a miracle baby and then my mother died 3 days later ... so there are exceptions ...

though i found your poem extremely insightful, touching and intelligent ...

You said it best when you said, "teacher children well." Unfortunately, many parents are bad teachers and bad examples. That's very hard to change.

Again, there is beauty, truth, and wisdom expressed through your verses, Carolee. Would that all could stay "as a child." Perhaps this world would know peace then. Thank you for sharing. Love and best wishes to you,

We know no evil, hate, jealousy, etc., when we are small. We learn that what we must hold on to is "hope" and love and that is all that matters.

Love ya!
