Life in the Fold… Elsewhere
PoemsElsewhere the children are bold
They are creative and innovative
In the past, children were raised with a strong respect for elders and societal norms. They were taught the importance of obedience, gratitude, and humility. We’d greet our elders with a warm smile and a polite greeting, never daring to be rude. Everyone monitored every child closely. We understood the importance of hard work and good behavior, knowing that our actions would determine the rewards we’d receive, especially during Christmas.
