Wednesday's Words of Wisdom or Witticism

After looking through my files recently, I found all kinds of stories poems, inspirations and internet forwarded funnies. I thought I would share one each week just to lighten the mood and help us all push through the rest of the week.

Each Wednesday, I plan to post Words of Wisdom or Words of Witticism. Today's Words of Wisdom are reminders to us all to find the gold in every child!


Searching for Gold
by Jean Warren

Look beneath the freckles
Look beneath the grin
Look for that which sparkles
Buried deep within.

Look beyond the whining
Look beyond the tears
Look beyond the runny nose
The frowns, the mess, the fears.

Search for that which glitters
Treasures to unfold
Search beneath the surface
Search and find the gold!

    What a nice poem, Ayn! Thanks for sharing it. I think I'm going to like this feature. I respond well to epigrams and short poems. =)
