Kids seem to be so insightful these days.
I was shocked when Sam (age 11) came home with this poem he’d written at school.
He was only given the method for doing it and didn’t get any help with the content. He didn’t see why I was amazed and said there were lots of better ones! Here it is;
During this year may you have;
Enough friends to make you happy Enough clothes to keep you warm Enough sleep to keep you active Enough space to make you run Enough objects to keep you grateful Enough food to make you strong Enough joy to make you smile all day Enough failure to stop you boasting Enough success to keep you going Enough power to make you advance
— by Sam K
What do you think? Are kids more “advanced” than we were at their age? And if so, why? Please, tell me what you think below :-)
I hurt for 13 years. It was hell... torture... feeling very bad for a very long time. And that had a devastating effect on every aspect of my life.
With the little energy and focus I had, I hunted for answers. In fact I spent twenty YEARS trawling for answers. You can just imagine the trying, and stumbling, the desperation and frustration...
But now I've seen BOTH extremes of life... from wanting to die every day to the joy of health and happiness. The truth is that all my suffering drives me with a passion to help you not to suffer. Why I can't say, because it's just there, in me.
So don't make the same mistakes I did. Life is too short... I want you to feel good without falling into the pitfalls. I have this knowledge now and I would love you to have it.
It's all laid out for you in a simple step-by-step guide...

oh and btw, the sunflower pic was one I took of a sunflower in my back garden. If anyone wants it for wallpaper or to print I can send you full size file :-)
I was stunned when I read that poem… Great work Sam :-)
How wonderful is that? Another writer in the family I’d say!
