A Wonderful World

At night when we look at the sky, we see all the wonders of the heavens. We don’t judge one star from another, nor criticize any lacking that may exist. We just accept and enjoy.

Carina, Age 10, The Last School Picnic

“No,“ she replied. She explained that she just received terrible news and then pulled back her cap to show me her short light brown hair in the process of growing back.
