With a child's eyes I've seen This thing they call war. Death and destruction Fire, fear and eradication Behind these child's eyes I wondered What is all the fighting for? With a child's voice I asked Why must so many die? Greed, rage and hate Pride, prejudice and fate This child's voice is silent Afraid even to ask why. With a child's mind I've sought A solution to all this strife Pain, panic, mutilation Tyranny and degradation This child's mind can¹t comprehend The ugliness I see in life With a child's heart I cry Love is better than hate Peace, happiness and joy For Black and White, girl and boy This child's heart is pleading Listen, please! It's not too late. With a child's eyes I've seen This thing they call war. Death and destruction Fire, fear and eradication For the children I am fearing Must we fight forevermore? |

Nan~ Thanks so much for the e-mail greeting that was very nice of you to show me the "latest" features. But considering I'm not computer smart it would probably take me a whole day to figure out where the "e-mail greeting" button is. Devine~ Curious one, aren't you? Well, I actually took the name off of Rosie O'Donnel because she uses it quite often to describe someone who is "extremely" (might I add that) cute. So I guess that best describes this 28 yr old woman. And for you Blondie~ What's this about me lying about my self image? Oh no...perfectly true and you know that honey. You wait till your mother hears about this one. But I love you too. And everyone else that gave me great responses thanks so much for making me feel "right at home."

A nice poem as introduction Welcome to Passions Liked it very much The ability to describe life with words is similar to painting a picture; both can be powerful tools. |
