IN YOUR SMALL CORNER



















Ian sent me some very adorable pictures and a poem. Here I'd like to share the pictures he sent but with another poem that I read recently. This poem reminds us that life is precious and to not take it for granted.
In Your Small Corner
To look on and not offer assistance to one who needs is
to stand in the shadows of truth
To listen and spread the gossip of loose tongues is
to salt the open wounds of pain
To grasp and hold onto unfeeling material substances is
to lose the value of caring
To turn deaf ears to a child's plea for identity is
to stifle creativity, individuality
To miss the beauty of life and living is
to hide in a shadowy cocoon, alone
To miss the joy of a child with grandparents is
to read a good book, only to find someone has torn away the final chapter
Live every day to its fullest
Take pride in whatever you do
Make your small corner unforgettable
Because it once belonged to you
Jewell Castro
