L. R. KNOST

 

Today’s blessing comes from the author L. R. Knost

who, with the wisdom and knowledge she brings

reminds us as human beings and parents 

of two very important things:

 

 

She teaches us that it is not our job

to make our children tough enough to face

a world that is heartless and cruel

 

(Certainly this should be taught every day in every school)

 

It’s our job to raise children who will make their world

a little less heartless and cruel.

 

 

And she reminds us wherever children are murdered  

whether in Israel, 

Palestine, 

Armenia, 

Syria 

Ukraine,

 America

or Algiers…

every father screams the same screams

and every mother cries the same tears.
