TREES
I think that I shall never see a poem lovely as a tree.
A tree whose hungry mouth is prest
against the earth’s sweet flowing breast.
A tree that looks at God all day, and lifts her leafy arms to pray.
A tree that may in Summer wear a nest of robins in her hair.
Upon whose bosom snow has lain;
Who intimately lives with rain.
Poems are made by fools like me, but only God can make a tree.
Joyce Kilmer

ÁR DTEANGA FÉIN
An rud a chíonn an leanbh, is é a níonn an leanbh. The child does what the child sees. Be careful of the example you give to little ones. They are watching you closely.
Bain triail as: Chím gach rud go soiléir anois. I see everything clearly now.
