hope, compassion and wonder

row, row, row your boat
gently down the stream
merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily
life is but a dream

how can a parent teach hope, compassion and wonder to a child?
where is the soul of patience, the eyes of grief, the palm of peace?
who can see the arc of insight cascading like rainbows across the horizon?
when does a friend know it is time to reach out and comfort the confused or alone?
why is it so hard to help the people we love?
