Ignorance is Bliss

Ignorance is bliss
Child knows only love’s aegis
Awaiting dreams dawn

    To have the protection offered that shelters the child from dealing with issues before his natural time is a gift. Great thoughts.

    What a blessed child that would know only love’s aegis at dawn of its dreams! We should all be like little children, Becca. Thank you for this message in such effective verse.

      This was a very difficult image to portray in a positive light (always my goal), without appearing like my head is in the cloud of denial. Tomorrow’s image is even more so. I do believe … with a parent’s love, it takes time before children realize the harsh realities, and hopefully by then, something will change!!

      Thank you for your visit and comment.
