What I Learned from a Child #devotion #poetry
GFETE – grin
”And he said:“Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.Therefore, whoever takes the lowly position of this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.”
~Matthew 18: 3 & 4
Today I walked where a child journeyed
I was whisked up into the breeze
colorful wings sprouted
I flew in fantasy
Today I rode a wooden horse
but you would never know
the journeys that we travelled
as knights from long ago
Today I laughed with a child
light and color flashed in the skies
we dug a tunnel to a new world
where giantshad blue eyes
Tomorrow I’ll wing up toward heaven
look down atyou with a smile
never letting go of the memories
love I learned from the heart of a child

Jesus loved children and told us we needed to be…

South Dakota Tattoo Artist Making Name for Himself, Says ‘Tattoos Have Spirit in Them’ – ICTMN.com
When Paul Fiddler was only eight years old, he etched his first tattoo. “I used a wall tack and some pen ink and made initials on my hand,” said the 26-year-old Cheyenne River Sioux. Little did the young Fiddler know that a little pain would be his gain, and he would one day be a professional tattoo artist and owner of the newly opened Phuzion Storm Tattoos in Rapid City, South Dakota, named after a son he lost three years ago. “It’s a way to keep his name going,” shared the father of three.

It’s a Matter of Love
Your writing is unhinged
Just be careful
Those people can seriously harm you
Aren’t you afraid?
Why do you throw yourself in harm’s way?
Tell me why?
* *
It is not a matter of courage
It is a matter of love
A love so great that every sacrifice worthwhile
All pain bearable
Love of Truth, Justice, Peace and Humanity
Love of gentleness and kindness, compassion and beauty
Love of babies when they’re born
As they take their first step
As they make their first smile
Then from then on, every step of the way
Love of children when they laugh
As they dream of hugging the world
As they giggle when they play
Flattering their wings as they fly
Love of earth running amok
Day and night chasing one another
Hoping to meet by the horizon
Out of breath kissing the sky
Love of oceans as they pound
Racing…
