All my students write about love
BRAVO!
Such sweet wishes of young hearts
BRAVO!
A lifetime of yearning
They will come to know
Is no guarantee
The matter will ever turn out
Quite correct.

'You are so sad, '
sighed Lucy
the award winning poet in my class
a smile on her lips and
Not to be disuaded from the allure
of Paradise.
Oh Lucy!
Confident, and already quite tall.

Charles Chaim Wax
