Our world

Just words

                                    Our world

Grandchild play with other children at the beach.

He does not see the color of the other children skin and

he doesn't question the children race or religion.

They built a great dam and a small city of sand.

Would be nice if us grown-ups could learn from them.

Life is simple.

Work together and lead with concern, kindness and friendship.

Rate someone by their deeds and learn.

Many with the same goals,

can create a proper dam and city.

My grandchild told me. We learn to take cover in school today.

Grandpa, I heard the teachers talking. The principle will carry a gun.

Grandpa. I'm afraid to go to school.

He brought his grandchild near and he told him.

Can't allow fear to overtake us and you must be brave.

Your generation must fix this world.

You must go to school. Learn about this world and not allow fear to slow you down.

Fear is the true weakness.

Bad people want us to know fear and mistrust.

We must lead with concern, kindness and love.

The boy smiled and he hugged his Grandfather.

He told him.

Okay grandpa. I will be like you.

You like everyone and I will be brave.

These new words of yours just had to be written Coyote. The messages they contain and convey need to be shouted from rooftops and mountains. The world may well be going crazy but as yet, there are those who do still hold with age old values and have no desire to hurt harm or kill.

Down with guns I say and up with love. My oh' my I really am beginning to sound like the old hippy. Another great & meaning ful write my friend.....Neville
