I love your poem "Eyes are looking and seeing", as it gives such a wise and wonderful message. I believe that all living things see us and are aware of their surroundings.. like us they too breath air or feel pain.. and its high time that people learn to appreciate and protect Mother Nature. <br /><br />Its a joy to know that your children share that same zest and zeal for nature as you do and I know you must be proud of them. Wishing you and your family loads of happiness and success for the future.. Amen. <br /><br />Lots of love,<br />SanaaSanaa Rizvihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06681404650477409830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4139625267522039683.post-85338570878594950912015-08-10T14:01:41.489-04:002015-08-10T14:01:41.489-04:00I'm glad I happened up this interview...happin...I'm glad I happened up this interview...happiness in a post.
