Possibility and reality

Treasure and opportunity ...Psalm 37:26 

26 The godly always give generous loans to others,

    and their children are a blessing.

Children

 

Are they so different or … maybe so much alike?

It is hard to understand how character forms in little tikes?

One year old and definite trades surface in their being.

They act just like their parents or that’s what we’re seeing.

 

What is their reality? They understand right from wrong. 

They pass all their ideas and that seemingly all day long.

What part of a child develops and what is already there?

Complete and developing in fullness fulfilled everywhere.

 

Miracles in the beginning ... pollution in the end

Is it any wonder that … the mind of them are bend?

But then the guiding of their being is not easily done.

As molding their emotions within reason just goes on.

 

Maybe the multitude of people we in this life do meet

Are bundles of emotions discarded to be too cheap?

Dime a dozen syndromes … and who does really care?

At times not even next of kin … as love seems truly scarce.

 

Is the end the beginning … and decay just a mirage,

That appears like good to most … like junk in a garage?

Values are perceived in mind … labeled at her door,

Hidden from a little child … who hungers more and more.

 

What we feed a little child are the basics for its growth

And despite our ignorance God seems to protect us both.

If adults reap what they sow in proportion to their deeds

They would have burned long ago for selfish is their need.
