A Child's Request



Speak to me of life lived,

of Love provisioned,

Of difficult, brave choices and of adventures found

Spin stories extolling character, honor and desperation

Demonstrate the virtue of balance and choice, of empathy and of self-respect

Expose humanity's naked frailty, then reveal the rich abundance yet hidden

That I may learn to seek the best in life

and the highest within myself

this one is really good. i could tell you were inspired and that pregnant thought clearly bore fruit.

Why is life lower-case, but Love is not? I really like the contrasts you use as examples. My favorite line,
"Expose humanity's naked frailty, then reveal the rich abundance yet hidden".
