When I was growing up, people spoke of four-letter words
as the ones which most definitely should not be used in
polite company
As far as Im concerned, though, there are a great many
four-letter words that should be used not only often, but
in any company, especially that of children
Read , for example
we read for pleasure as well as
for wisdom and enlightenment
and what about work
and play
these go together, because they should
balance each other
too much of either one isnt
necessarily a positive thing
There is also care
to care for and about others,
to nurture their growth and cherish their happiness,
is this not a worthy ambition to pass along
and give
seems to follow naturally
there is a special joy
in being able to give
And what about hope
it is hope that enables us to
dream
it is hope that fills us with the strength
to reach our goals
I could go on and on with the four-letter words
that I believe should be used often, because the list
is nearly endless
free and pray and sing, to name
only a few more
but the ones most important, at
least to me, are love and soul
it is love that
nurtures the soul and brings it into the light
