    Love this poem! But who says that insect souls are less eternal than ours?

    I don't agree with the poet either. IMHO: Eternal, yes, but human souls are the literal spirit children of our Heavenly Father in my faith and so may become exalted beings.

    "A simple leaf may brush a tear, / Or chase a cloud of care away— / May touch, with pleasant sounds, the ear, / Illumine night, and brighten day." Enjoyed.

    Thanks for the links. I think this is the first time I read that a Christian Faith admits the idea of animals in heaven.

    A strong and brave declaration of love by Walt Whitman! Enjoyed!

    "I met their eyes and found them mild— / Do they, too, dream of me, I wonder, / And for them am I too a child?" Enjoyed Sara is becoming one of my favorites.

    "If you have found it, won't you tell / Its happy name to me?" Ah, wouldn't it be nice to edit out our bad memories... of course only if beneficial in the long run as we learn and grow from all experiences. Enjoyed
