Children

Many years ago, I saw children who were homeless or who were abused, neglected, unloved. They were kind of crazy, wild, out of control and demanding. Yet, they, and their families, taught me how to love, how to share, how to give. And much to my own surprise, I found that they had given to me more than I had given to them. They were precious, like rare gems.  Today, 20 years later, there are still precious children in the neighborhood whose sparkling eyes and brilliant smiles still warm my heart.
