Untitled: Dare to Dream.

I was helping my 5 years old daughter Lauren fill out her Student of the Week form and we got to part about what she wanted to be when she grew up. What do most kids dream to be? policeman, sports stars, movie stars, astronauts, veterinarian? Those are lofty dreams, but all are attainable, my little girl, she dreams bigger.

President of the United States? Bigger.

First to walk on Mars? greater imagination.

Cure for cancer? farther reaching.

When my little girl grows up she wants to be....

a MERMAID.

THE BRIDGE BUILDER

An old man, going a lone highway,
Came at the evening cold and gray,
To a chasm, vast and deep and wide,
Through which was flowing a sullen tide.
The old man crossed in the twilight dim-
That sullen stream had no fears for him;
But he turned, when he reached the other side,
And built a bridge to span the tide.
"Old man," said a fellow pilgrim near,
"You are wasting strength in building here.
Your journey will end with the ending day;
You never again must pass this way.
You have crossed the chasm, deep and wide,
Why build you the bridge at the eventide?
"The builder lifted his old gray head.
"Good friend, in the path I have come," he said,
"There followeth after me today
A youth whose feet must pass this way.
This chasm that has been naught to me
To that fair-haired youth may a pitfall be.
He, too, must cross in the twilight dim;
Good friend, I am building the bridge for him."
