Free Gift for You. OUR GIFT FOR YOU. DOWNLOAD AND ENJOY PLEASE SHARE THE LINK WITH ALL WHO YOU LOVE AND CARE ABOUT. This e-book brings you the spiritual reunion of humanity for our children. Images of devastating AND shameful pain and suffering call our hearts with seeming inability to do anything to help. This poem has been praised for its simplicity and its uniformity of acceptance by all people. It is unimaginable that children suffer indiscriminately wherever it occurs. We can agree that the lives of our children are precious, can't we? Until now every person who has read this poem agrees. Do you? Find out with this gift. Please share it with your loved ones. If we say this poem enough, if we share it as much as we can, if we take just a moment in our day to think of children and how precious they are then we begin the changes that are needed. This poem is not only about the children who are being killed in places of war and sectarian violence. This poem is about children who experience abuse and worse in their life even though they do not live in a place of war and sectarian violence. If we can agree to the ideas that our children are precious and that we seek the best for them, and expand that feeling to the children of other people and recognize too that all children need our love and compassion then perhaps, just perhaps a small change can grow.

3 Conclusion 54 Introduction Thank you for downloading this e-book containing 25 different world languages interpreting a single poem. Children are the future of the world. When they are born, they are welcomed into the family and as they grow, they learn from their parents, at school, and from the society and culture in which they live. Taught by the conditions and situation in which they are raised, children become adults who carry forward the traditions and more. Can we, should we teach children love and compassion vs hatred and fear? There is growing belief that children can grow into something different that presents a happier future for each of them as well as the greater society. This poem, translated into 25 languages, offers a steppingstone for agreement.
4 Until this moment, every single person to whom this poem has been presented agrees with its message. Such unanimity is unusual. Can we return to this underlying agreement when disagreements occur? Why not? Dandelions The images that have been selected to include with the poem in its 53 linguistic versions is the ＾Dandelion.￣ This plant is found through much of the world. As children, we often play with it, blowing its spectacular seeds into the skies laughing and smiling as they magically fly away. Their yellow petals are said to symbolize the sun shining thus, referring to growth in your life. They are also said to symbolize hope, happiness, and
5 love. Some people often believe them to be a symbol of innocence and playfulness. Legend has it that if you can blow all the seeds off a dandelion in a single breath then the person you love will love you back. If the seeds remain, then the person of your affection may have reservations about their feelings towards you. Let¨s take a big breath and blow all the seeds off at once for every child living or to be born, Poetry Unlike other forms of literature, poetry is arranged for its meaning, sound, rhythm. It evokes a concentrated imaginative awareness of experience or specific emotional responses. A vast and old as history subject, poetry is present wherever religion is present, possibly under some definitions the primal and primary form of languages themselves. At some level defining poetry is both difficult and even impossible yet it is this very impossibility that holds and attracts our attention. In this, poetry can be considered a koan for contemplation, interpretation, and the finding of meaning in life. Liu Ma Di These writings of Liu Ma Di！the name given the author for his daily duty of cleaning the floors at the Buddhist temple at which he has lived for periods of time for more than 15 years, share his insights and thoughts in unusual, provocative, and inspiring ways that provide you opportunities to explore and discover the beauty of your life. They are a gateway into the many volues of poetry, koans, philosophy of the author.
6 It is my wish that you find the beauty in your life. If these writings offer you ways to consider your life that is different than what you may have previously done, then I will feel that I have succeeded.
