Amaryllis under the orange tree .. still blooming with filtered sun falling on them .. making them more beautiful, if that is possible .. www.youtube.com/watch?v=xO-tEq4HP3E by: Harry Chapin "The little boy went first day of school He got some crayons and started to draw He put colors all over the paper For colors was what he saw And the teacher said.. What you doin’ young man I’m paintin’ flowers he said She said… It’s not the time for art young man And anyway flowers are green and red There’s a time for everything young man And a way it should be done You’ve got to show concern for everyone else For you’re not the only one And she said… Flowers are red young man Green leaves are green There’s no need to see flowers any other way Than they way they always have been seen ..." (partial lyrics) We, my teacher and I, played this song for every intern, student teacher and volunteer we had when I worked in kindergarten in North Carolina. Some were deeply moved, others not so. Teachers mold our children, consciously or not; I think all should be required to listen to this Harry Chapin song before setting foot in front of any youngsters. But, that is my opinion. Hope you will listen to the YouTube link; the words are more than just about children ... May you all have a beautiful weekend, my Friends! © All rights reserved ^SOOC
