Memeorial Day

Monday morning and Mass Transportation is running on a Sunday schedule. Navy Admirals are marching and Marine Majors saluting as I walk by scores of marching brass bands adorned with gold buttons and silver white uniforms. The sun is out and the children sound off in the court yards, playgrounds, sidewalks, and bandstands. What a wonderful world it becomes after children have had their way with it and finally leave what ever remains of it for us adults to settle with the acceptance that we are here in this life for our tomorrows. Our tomorrows always include children and their beautiful messes they consider wondrous masterpieces. Our todays are always filled with exhaustion, tireless repetition of do's and dont's, and most of all the worries and concerns parents naturally have when thinking if all their efforts will one day be rewarded with a prodigy child whom develops into the high paid doctor or humble clergyman.

A memorable day today on Memorials Day for good mothers and fathers of this world. I just want to say well done!!! Well done and chin up for the things you think may go unnoticed such as catching your child from a broken flight to intervene a terrible fall. Well done to all the un sung heroes especially teachers who have the greatest love of all. Yes, parents I said the greatest love of all ! To believe in another human beings future so strongly that lessons are taught to them to guide and protect them in choices that will inevitably arise in their lives as elements of surprise. I want to say that although a teaching job may be viewed by many as a job let us understand what the calling of a teacher first is, then may we begin to fathom and appreciate the timelessness in all the rewards a student would receive after asserting a lesson well understood. A teacher like a mother gives a new birth to a child, with the faith and belief that this child will go forward with all dexterity and apply to life answers to all its riddles. A teacher speaks to a child as if a child will understand them without doubt in their facial expressions or in their tones of voice. Teachers teach confidence, strength, forgiveness for all the little mistakes, courage to remember and try again, a will to never surrender, and above all, Love... To always remember that in life there were guiding voices belonging to vague faces hardly remembered that were always there fighting for them, believing in-them, trusting and teaching the most important lesson of time and that is perseverance. Thank God for teachers and mostly for parents love which requires trust and faith in life. A day to remember all the days of our lives which have gone past. Leaving us with a tomorrow which we hope to be kind and generous to us all here on Earth.

There is for certain one thing this world can share this day forever and that is the fact that we all give thanks for something, we all cry too, we all rejoice for new life and love, and we all hurt and sooth. Giving thanks for today and always will be a manner in which humanity through out the world will share in common. So lets all give a shout out to the world and say hello neighbor across the world how are you today and what have you done?
