| November "What Shall We Give the Children?" "The open sky, the brown earth, the leafy trees, the golden sand, the blue water, the stars in their courses, and the awareness of these: bird songs, butterflies, clouds and rainbows, sunlight, moonlight, firelight; a large hand reaching down for a small hand, impromptu praise, an unexpected kiss, a straight answer, the glisten of enthusiasm and the sense of wonder, long days to be merry in and nights without fear, and the memory of a good home. These Things We Shall Give the Children." -- Author Unknown 1 - 5
