Children Should Be Taught Manners
Children should be taught manners.
It is not good to hear a child swear.
A soft word is better than sharp words,
A kind voice grows into kindness.
Why do some parents think it funny
When a child speaks rough?
They laugh, but they plant bad seeds.
They do not see what grows after.
A home should teach care, not anger,
Patience, not noise.
Love that calms small quarrels,
Warmth that shapes gentle hands.
If children are shown gentleness early,
Their words will soothe, not cut.
Their steps will be lighter,
Their eyes will not carry cruelty.
Manners are not chains.
They are gifts.
They open kindness in others,
They make strangers into friends.

Thoughts on Vocal and the way the world is
"Death cannot stop true love, only delay it." – Wesley in The Princess Bride. I decided to come back to Vocal on a very cold and dark night at the end of December. I had been, and still am, convalescing from a horrible staph infection that had gone misdiagnosed for months. This, paired with the increasing challenges of being healthy, making the best choices for my co-parented child, being a wife, and being a director at a new job, was a lot to manage.
