Little hands
with little fingers, drop
stickered cards (into the)
.:slots:. of glittered boxes—
cheerful voices singsong
“L-O-V—”
(forgetting silent-E…)
children know no
bitterness or bigotry—
accept the many shades
(and backgrounds of)
our heart-leafed,
classroom country tree:
everyone is welcomed—loved—
with big, wide arms here—

Off the Book
It ended like every other stupid idea. Badly, and alone. I’m researching digital confession ethics, he said. A tech ethicist. He gestured at floating data I couldn’t see then pulled out a physical notebook. Actual paper, fountain pen. He held it up like he was showing me scripture.

Congrats on top story…
Lovely poem🌹⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️♦️
Your words beautifully capture the purity of childhood and the joy of inclusion.
Very sweet poem.
The imagery of children dropping stickered cards into glittered boxes is so vivid and heartwarming. How did you capture the innocence and acceptance of children so beautifully? Your poem truly celebrates the purity of young hearts. Well done!
What a beautiful premise and poem, so artfully woven.
Oh what a great write!
Children know no bitterness or bigotry - The purest of love. Well Done.

Back to say congratulations on your Top Story! 🎉💖🎊🎉💖🎊
Yes! Children are so pure of heart! ♥️
So nice
Really enjoyed this. In just a few weeks, I'll be sitting down with my twin, third-grade boys and we'll be filling out these cards. The only judgement being what kind of candy they taped onto the Valentine :)
Love holiday themed stuff for kids
Now thats love in it's purest form! Loved your poem so much, my sweet Red Partner!
Oh, the valentine boxes at school! Such memories! Very cleverly done, Gina!!
Grinning widely here. Yes, this innocence is wonderful. My son still struggles with pronouns. Shows how "learned" they are. Love is love ❤️
Beautiful & inspiring!
Purest of all love
Beautiful! ✨
So sweet, and such an important statement. Well done, my friend.
Beautiful and uplifting!! They are blank slates that need love and guidance. So glad there are dozens of little minds and hearts that have you as an example each day :)
Children are not aware of bigotry unless they are exposed to it. It's is precious experiencing little ones trying to a t like ground. I am glad kids still like stickers in this day and age
