A child's wisdom "In that hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit and said, I thank thee O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes: even so, Father, for so it seemed good in thy sight."KJV Luke 10:21 What is it that little children know that we forget when we grow old to laugh to cry to seek to try? To love and play not care what we say? Look around at everything birds and bees butterflies ants that craw dirty flies? Nary a worry nary a care looking to learn from everything there. Nothing complex no reason to vex when they like it they smile don't know about sex. Comfort and love from a grown up is fine to keep each child smiling most of the time. How did we ever lose A child's wisdom? Copyright: Newell ElsworthUsher Silver Streak of Silver Springs, Florida July 21, 2001 Sharing God's Love through perfectlovepoetry.com |

this is wonderful..i loved it..makes me think of my little sis who died along time ago..when she was twelve..my mom was hurt about something my aunt did..and my sis just looked at her and said"Dont worry mom she is just showing everyone in the family how ignorant she is" ~Vic You can complain because roses have thorns, or you can rejoice because thorns have roses. |

Thank you for you thoughts. Was it fear? Or was it selfishness? Or, is fear just another form of selfish thinking? -newell Sharing God's Love through perfectlovepoetry.com |

I don't think fear is a form of selfishness...I think it is caused by the unknown...and we aren't born with fear..it is a learned response. *s M |
