What the World Needs Now

"Outwitted"

by Edwin Markham (1852-1940)

He drew a circle that shut me out—

Heretic, rebel, a thing to flout.

But Love and I had the wit to win:

We drew a circle that took him in!

I once read there is nothing that time or love can't heal. I think it's time for love.

I will have no greater impact toward the state of the world than the children I raise and set free to roam it. I want to teach them every good thing that I know. I want them to know about art and design, how to make a buttermilk biscuit, and how to properly lift weights. I want them to read from the best books, not glossy internet trash. I have so many things to teach them! However, if I do not foster and perpetuate the truth that we are all children of God—literally brothers and sisters—and must love each other because God loves each of us, I have failed my children. My daughter is an asset to humanity; she notices the invisible and radiates to all. My boys are little. They know no guile, much less hatred. Still, I ask, "What color of skin does Heavenly Father love the most?" Without hesitation, Archer answers, "All!"
