Imagine: you’re at a store with your mother.
You both see another mother start to spank her child. Your mother intervenes,
and stops this mother from doing that. How would you feel?
The Bravest Deed
I’m shopping with
Mom
at the
supermarket
and we see a
woman
yelling at her
kid
who looks about
three or four.
She grabs the
girl’s arm
smacks her on the
bottom
BANG! BANG!
BANG! BANG!
about ten times, hard, then
CRACK!
across the girl’s face.
The girl is
screaming
and the lady gets
ready
to smack her
again
but all of a
sudden Mom
sort of steps
between them
and asks: Is
everything okay?
You’re having
a hard time,
looks like. I
remember…
Mom points at me,
laughing,
actually calms
the lady down,
with that girl
still sniffling,
and me standing
there hoping
no one will
notice my
trembling hands.

Poems About Family
I had forgotten about this poem. I'm always talking to my kids about being upstanders. This poem is perfect for that!
ReplyDeleteMy husband and I have been having lots of problems living together, he never gives me attention or makes me happy because he has fallen in love with another woman outside our marriage. I tried my best to make sure that my husband leaves this woman but the more I talk to him about it the more he makes me feel sad and unhappy, My marriage started leading to divorce because he no longer gives me attention. I wanted to forget him but i love him and didn't want to lose him. We have been married for years and he is all I could call a true best friend and best in all, the man that handles my problems perfectly, the man that makes sacrifices for ,my happiness. I wanted him back in my life badly and I was so confused. My Friends told me to buy books about relationships, so I went online for relationship books while I came across a spell caster called Dr Emu. I read testimonies and reviews about him so I contacted him immediately, explained my problems to him. Same day , he casted a spell for me and assured me for 2 days that my husband will return to me and to my greatest surprise the third day my husband came knocking on my door and begged for forgiveness. I am so happy that my love is back again and not only that, we are about to get married again, he proposed. I wouldn't stop talking about him. Contact him today if you need his help via email: emutemple@gmail.com and you will see that your problem will be solved without any delay. Website: https://emutemple.wordpress.com/
