I would like to add my wish that they gain the wisdom to strive for the wishes you have given to them. Great write.

Thanks, Ringo. And may WE be wise enough as adults to gift them some bits of wisdom worth following.

I'm with you Kacy.....
Lauren~

I close my eyes and there in the shadows I see your light
You come to me out of my dreams
Across the night

As one with teenaged grandchildren, I couldn't agree more.  You said it very well.  KJ

(big hugggssssssss) And I only pray that among all of the youth now like myself that somewhere there are loving souls that will become loving leaders and rule not with power but with love! (sigh) As Shakira says, "Love is lacking in our leaders and our leaders are lacking love!", and who knows, maybe those loving leaders are those who live in the alleys or your own next door neighbor! This is very touching, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Kacy, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Kacy - here you go again missy - my thoughts - hmmmm - just that they know when to walk away slowly - know when to run  and know that they are the most important thing to themselves  (I think I heard a Kenny Rogers tune in there lol)  This is just sooo inspiring xxoo
