YOU ARE A MARVEL


 
        You are a marvel.  Each second we live is a new and  unique moment of the universe, a moment that will never ge again...  And what do we teach our children?  We teach them that two and two make four, and that Paris is the capital of France.  When will wee also teach then what they are?  We should say to each of them:  Do you know what you are?  You are a marvel.  You are unique.  In all the years that have passed, there had never been another child like you.  Your legs, your arms, your clever fingers, the way you move.  You may become a Shakesphere, a Michelangelo, a Beethoven.  You have the capacity for anything.  Yes, you are a marvel.  And when you grow up, can you then harm another who is, lik you, a marvel?  You must wrok- we must all work-to make the world worthy of its children.
