This is a poem that I am dedicating to my parents
who were children of the Depression.
C is for children of caring,
H is for home and health, for some had neither,
I is for initiative; for they could think of anything,
L is for the love they had,
D is for dedication to their families,
R is for ready for anything,
E is education they wanted, but some had to choose,
to continue to go to school or go to work,
N is for nightmares at times for they did not know what
will happen to them.
Of the
D is for dependability on oneself and family,
E is edification of what is known,
P is pride that one must show to all,
R is for respect that was taught and shown by most,
E is for exciting ties that bind together,
S is for security of family and friends,
S is for the saftey that one feels with said family and friends,
I is for the innovations that did occur during this time,
O is for the opportunities that did happen along at times,
N is for just a nice time to get to know.

I am a person who really likes to read and write and to share what I learned with all my education. My page will mainly be book reviews and critiques of old and new books that I have read and will read. There will also be other bits, too.
