THE INNOCENCE OF ANGELS
—Caschwa, Sacramento
Fred Rogers' mother said
when times are truly bad
look for the helpers
put aside for a moment
the stereotypical
depictions of cherubs
as winged pudgy infants
and open your hearts to
real people helping people
every day there are people
who can swim saving people
who cannot, and motorists
pulling victims from burning cars
and there are organ donors
and so many others
some quite ugly by
Hollywood standards—
all with huge hearts.

Today's LittleNip:
CHRISTMAS
—Olga Blu Browne, Sacramento
Let's you and I talk of silvery
rivers,
where I was once the moon
watching the shadows of snow
fall in silence. And "HE" the
reason for the songs of joy.
I believe in the spirit of
Christmas.
