May we raise children who love the unloved things - the dandelion, the worm, the spiderlings.
Children who sense the rose needs the thorn and run into rainswept days the same way they turn towards the sun...
And when they're grown and someone has to speak for those who have no voice,
may they draw upon that wilder bond, those days of tending tender things and be the one. -
Very clever. I admire those creative types who see this opportunity.Not where I breathe, but where I love, I live...

I thought everyone knew this.
I distinctly remember my second-grade teacher doing this (obviously, when I was in the second grade), and we had a class exercise about drawing around the venerable gingerbread man cookie cutter and seeing what people could make of it. There were all sorts of snowmen, faces, etc. One clever girl made one of these into a comical Ronald Reagan with his signature hairstyle. Another made a rather alarmingly accurate caricature of another black girl in class who always wore two of those pigtails on the side of her head that for some reason was popular in the '70s.
Can't really make a Barack Obama out of these (no, I'm not going political here), but I bet one could make some other characters. Bugs Bunny, Wile. E. Coyote, perhaps even Foghorn Leghorn.It's been ten years since that lonely day I left you
In the morning rain, smoking gun in hand
Ten lonely years but how my heart, it still remembers
Pray for me, momma, I'm a gypsy nowComment

Well, I never thought of it and I bake a tedious number of Christmas cookies. My reindeer cutter is of the 'leaping stag' type.
