UNDERSTAND, CHILD; A Song

Try to understand...

Understand, child.

Don't close your heart to much ideas
Just strive
To be sensitive enough
And learn quickly how to prioritize

Never say no to learning.
The limits of your body
Is determined
By the limits of your mind.

Don't have a plastic mnd.
Things that makes sense today
Might not make much sense
In the next couple of days

Try, child, to understand
Your true person
And how to relate well
With every other person out there

Listen child,
There just might be wisdom
In all those previously sung lines
So, as we end this song,

Just... Understand, child

A poet with a clear, fine voice, this is a poem with good sense, it doesn´t lecture or prescribe, it guides in the way you would protect a child. A poet I know, and an excellent one.

The key to life. Us adults, we are the examples for the children. We must teach them well. The children are watching us. We can teach love or hate? Powerful words shared my friend. I hope you are doing well, be careful and be safe.

Einstein said ,"Imagination is more important than knowledge." I'd venture that understanding is likewise. It's such a wonderful feeling for a teacher when a child hits that AHA! moment and grasps the idea as well as the concrete concept. I think helping them learn how to think for themselves is the most important lesson a teacher can impart. Great work here.
