The Future Foundation It is not the convictions that something will turn out well If we were logical the future would be bleak But we are human beings And we have faith and we have hope, We try to build castles in the air That is where they should be But first we need the foundations under them That is in are children, Take hope from the heart, of our fellow man And you make him a beast of pray In a mood of faith and hope My work goes on, I am a writer and i take up my pen to write Humility provides everyone even me who despairs in solitude With the strongest relationship to my children Arrogance just invites ruin Original love never appears in pure form But in veils and shapes I wouldn't be human if i didn't feel pride In my many achievements, Thousands of candles can be lit from one candle And the life of that candle will not be diminished Real kindness seeks no return for your efforts And this is how we should love our children, They are the future, they are the foundation Build them strong to secure the ongoing form of man They need us but we need them more In time; the foundation we provide now, will be solid, Annie 19-11-2008 |

Yep I agree with Mark. I love the pure honesty of this. This is precious because it's so true! "Thousands of candles can be lit from one candle And the life of that candle will not be diminished Real kindness seeks no return for your efforts And this is how we should love our children," There's a lot of them out there in street gangs etc. that look to their peers for guidance. Many never had the chance to be taught the principles of moral guidance by a parent that truly loves them..... Take care Eric IF YOU HAVE TO JUDGE SOMEONE DO IT ON THE SIDE OF MERCY AND LET TIME SEASON THE RESULTS. |

1st, I wanna say thanks 4 reading my poem. Then, let's just say that I'm not that old enough to speak 4 myself, but I always hear my parents talking about how important the children are and how everything starts with them...So loved your poem and thanks again .... |
