In a circle they sat,
The young ones listening,
Listening to a story.
I looked at them all
And then I saw them.
A little girl leaned over,
Leaned her head
Onto the lap of a little boy,
He gently lifted his arm
And placed it around her
Keeping her comfortable
As they heard the words.
A sign of trust in the young,
And showing us all the age,
The age of innocence.

Yes, good write Gold.
I made an unintentional error at First Aid Class, in a touch. Bit swoony to tell you details, but I wasn't trying to assault anyone. Doh!
If it was a comedy film, I would say 'I'm only trying to give you CPR, dear!'
We all make mistakes in in our lives Orchi, hope all was OK.

Yes - silly really. If the casualty was unconscious they wouldn't say 'What you up to there?' or something similar. Or if conscious, they would be glad of help, ignoring any inadvertent slip of the hand. That sounds like something in some old Carry On film. Doh!
Yet I read of about 50% of mean not liking to perform CPR on a woman.
Good point, Andy........ But it isn't, is it?
You paint a good picture, though.
Very true Dave, if only.....?
Andy
Beautiful image, profound message in wonderful words. If only.
Certainly soren, if only....?

Well done, Andy.
We are born with a fondness for one another. We let ourselves get talked out of it.
Thank you Jerry, yes we do get talked out of it.

Children know no predjuices, unless they are taught. Their innocence is a beautiful thing to behold, as is this beautiful poem. Again, wonderful choice of music.
So kind Bella, thank you.
Andy
Yessss. Beautiful.
