I felt that this poem would have been a perfect match for their characters.GatheringBookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04477710897574769648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-91636461349673530.post-81795501406143186012012-05-11T14:56:37.013-04:002012-05-11T14:56:37.013-04:00I agree that this is a very appropriate poem for o...I agree that this is a very appropriate poem for our time.
