Ah how lovely - I have five grandsons and just one granddaughter - she is so cherished as I can see yours is.

In your writing here i see no arrogance at all. Anyone who has shared romantic love will surely understand the pure joy which gives one the feeling of wanting to shout it from the rooftops!
Simples!

Just beautiful and so sad but so pleased to read that you both worked through it. Marriage has to be worked at and I\'m pleased to add that after 50 years my wife and I are as strong in our love for each other as we have ever been.

Very thoughtful. It\'s so easy to simply disregard nature, not thinking of the floating island of trash in the ocean that grows a little every day, etc. Thanks for sharing.

I Pray
Jhe said:
This is sweet & deep poem.
I especially like the lines:
\"I worry about what is right or wrong,
How to teach it ( ... )
I pray his heart stays true and I\'m always able
To reach it.\"
life can be a complicated lesson, and sharing what we\'ve learned can also be tricky, especially when trying to word things so our kids don\'t notice the \"age gap\"
...and how to make them aware of hazards without scaring them out of living?
It\'s quite a balancing act!
& if they become jaded, or worse, if we make them jaded, reaching (or being let into) their hearts can become difficult...
But in praying that they never grow out of their open-mindedness, you\'re saying there\'s still hope, not just for your family\'s future hapiness, but for everyones, and that\'s a wonderful thing to share.
Thank you

Jhe said:
I\'m glad you decided to \"throw\" this poem together; i think it\'s lovely,
and not simply because i also like lakes and ladybirds :)
but because its rhythm has a very natural feel ...it flows like the peaceful scene it describes.
A very relaxing piece.
Best wishes, J

Laura🌻 said:
SLR,
I believe that if we teach our children by our example, they’ll be fine! They will stumble along the way, just as we (their parents) do/have! We need to tell them that it is ok. Stumbling is part of the journey!
I agree with Goldfinch60’s comment! It helps for them to have family members they can depend upon! We need to support them and be there when they need us! I know it’s a cliché, but it does “take a village” to raise a child!
An awesome relatable write.

Great costruct and format. I definitely noticed the rhyme scheme and how it played through each set of lines, and how it paired nicely with the deeper content of your poem. Well done.

I really connect with your message - I find really hard to stop just BE myself with trying. Maybe it\'s shame? Maybe it\'s ambition? I don\'t know but I\'m thinking about it now :)
Most of all it reminds me of a line from a song called the \"The Ultracheese\", where the writer reflects lost friendships, past experiences, and the social context of them all. The line is
\"Trust the politics to come along
when you were just trying to orbit
the sun
when you were just about to be
kind to someone
\'cause you had the chance\"

SLR,
Spot on! Yes, it is “the ones who commit the crimes while pretending to be righteous and spiritual should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.” This happens in all faiths! It’s up to us to show love and kindness. We can have a relationship with our own God...no middle person! We can follow our own beliefs and not condemn those who believe differently! The most important thing is to be humane and respect one another and not cause strife!
An excellent write!

I\'ve never really liked mothers day,
But these words and feelings are amazing.
The beauty of your soul shines in every one, thank you ever so much.
I wrote a piece called \"I know of so many\" that is one of a few that show my appreciation for what the females do for us.
Much love and respect
