To be loved
Is a gift
Of reciprocity
By earning respect
Both helping
Both supporting
Emotionally
Or physically
Without consciousness
Could be leader
Giving confidence
Strength by modeling
With speech and demeanor
Or with consciousness
a call, a visit, a note
Building smiles, laughter
And especially safety
Of your space, your boundaries
never being crossed
Without your permission
That is love
That is trust
That is respect
You gave
And received
Together

To understand
Means less
Than you thought
For true understanding
Comes with generalizing
Skills taught
Teachers teach
Because they know
The subject
And are able to apply
The subject
So the understanding
Is learning never stops
For there is always
More to understand
-Jennie Nawrocki
Goodness gracious
Innocence
No guns
No bullying
No sabotage
No lying
No manipulation
Just innocence
Is it so bad
To be innocent
-Jennie Nawrocki
Round and round
Routine
Is is tedious
And mundane
Or is it attitude
Regardless
Every once
And awhile
Difference occurs
Is it enough
Change what is
In your control
Rather big or small
Then your life
Will be as
Exciting
As desired
-Jennie Nawrocki
