Kin ;; Clubs/L'Association des ■Clubs Kin is this country's !;only wholly Canadian service service club. But it is far more ; than just that. Kinsmen and .Kinettes all across Canada strive not only to better ; their communities, but ; themselves as well. Two of 1 the ways the Association encourages encourages this are Public Speaking and Writing com- r .pe tirions. The Kinsmen and "Kinette Clubs of the Great [ Pine Ridge have been very £ active and indeed successful |in these competitions over 1! the last few years. Last year | alone they produced 3 Na- tional finalists. i' In this quill, one of a 3- part series, we present one i'of the three entries (to date) "from the Kin Clubs of The fj Great Pine Ridge for 1990's fi writing competition. These 4 "Quills", as they are called ; by the Kin Association, must f be between 500 and 1000 i; words and on a topic of genii genii eral interest to Kin.. Each > contains a message that pro- ; vokes thought and, it is •; hoped, enjoyable reading: fc GENTLE THOUGHTS (A Kinette Quill Award Entry) I sat and looked out the window at the trees, Enjoying their swaying dance from the breeze. The leaves were all gone along time ago. Now buried and huddled under the snow. As I watched, my mind wandered first here and there, And then settled upon something about which we all care: The children of today and of years gone past, How short their time, they grow up so fast. The unfairness that's dealt them seems so great, So much to see, learn and do; "But wait, The time will come, you're just too little now", Ana nil of n sudden they're tod big somehow. For nine months wo breathlessly await their arrival arrival And struggle the next eighteen years for survival. Wo urge them on to say their first word And then we shush them; they're not to bo heard. Encouraging them learn how to crawl to Is the biggest injustice we do them of all. Once they have mastered the art of mobility, We tie them down. What a terrible pity! We must take extra time to spend with our family Listen to them talk and laugh and pray daily. Look at your children, examine examine their eyes, They will surely betray any hidden lies. Open the lines of family communication, t ;• Take them away on a short vacation. Read them a story, tell them a tall tale, ■ Show them how to hammer hammer a small nail. Let them help you one day as you bake, You'll be surprised at the joy that they'll take. Show them you love them, give them a nug, Get into some horseplay down on the rug. Talk about Jesus, our Saviour Saviour and Lord, Read together from the Bible, His Holy Word. Go for a walk and look at the flowers, The minutes will easily turn into hours. Answer their questions, I know there's a lot, But they're the only children children you've got. Each day they grow bigger and farther away, Cement those bonds that you have here today. Each moment you are given can be used any way, Why not use it to brighten brighten your child's day? , The dusting and washing for this day can wait Tomorrow when you've time, it may be too late. Look at the world through your children's eyes And you will discover a heart warming surprise, You arc the greatest, most wonderful, best, A more beautiful Mommy than all of the rest. Children arc worth every penny that they cost, Every luxury you feel that you've over lost. Do something small and special each day, And they'll love you always always and in every way. The smile ench morning when they awake, Will erase all the previous previous day's heartache. The squeals and splashes as they play in the tub Are music to your ears as you wash and you scrub. Set an example you want them to live by, And theyll make you proud 'til the day you die. Teach your children the right ways from wrong And their morals and ethics ethics will always be strong. Teach your children to care about those in need, And perhaps even a Kin or Kinette they will be. Then you can look back on the parenting job that you've done Arid be fittingly proud of your daughter or son.
