“Listen to the Musn't's child, Listen to the Don't's. Listen to the Shouldn't's, the Impossibles, the Won't's. Listen to the Never Haves, then Listen close to me. ANYthing can happen, child, ANYthing can Be.”
—Shel Silverstein (1930-1999), poet, songwriter, musician
Can't help wondering...What you're wondering about?
I'm wondering where the time goes...
For one thing...
Wondering why we don't seem to know earlier...
Let every moment in a child's life...
Be our priority...
They are so few and so soon gone...
Wondering when we will understand...
Each and every child...
A perfect child...
Perfect by design...
Miraculous, able...
Deserving of all we can do and give...
Ensure their survival, their preparedness...
To take their places in the Continuing Cycle of Life.
Each and every child "Beyond Beliefs,"
When we take the time to really see them...
As they are ...
Perfect by design...
Not ever something less than we are trying to make them be...
And now, here is a favorite poem for your pleasure and enlightenment:
Perfect by Design
Perfection:
The Ability to use the best of the past to create a better future.
... Consider the Butterfly
She doesn't know how rare it is,
That she flies through the air,
Nor knows that she pollinates
And gives life to so many.
Neither she knows what joy she brings
To the hearts of those who can see.
How lovingly the onlookers stare.
What protection from harm she has earned,
For her beauty that she can not see,
For her caring that comes so naturally.
How those who can see her wish,
Their lives could be so Happy,
So loved, so blind, so truly free.
~Thomas T. Panto ~ 1983~( http://www.themiracleoflife.org/One_Beginning/day17-theroad.htm )
'til next time...remember...
A Child is Waiting,
Take care...be aware,
Nancy Lee
