BUT FOR THE LOVE OF A CHILD
Precious though it is
We take for granted
The love a child has to give.
We brush aside
Their tiny hurts and bruises
We do not see their quivering lips.
Other things take over
Adult worries multiply
Till all the world seems at war.
A child does see
Much more than you and I
For he can see the games we play.
He understands
When all seems blue
That it really isn't so.
A little pat
A moistened smile,
The sky turns blue again‚ and all is well.

Ireland Leads the World
After having dug to a depth of 10 meters last year, Scottish scientists found traces of copper wire dating back 100 years and came to the conclusion that their ancestors already had a telephone network more than 100 years ago.
Not to be outdone by the Scots, in the weeks that followed, English scientists dug to a depth of 20 meters, and shortly after, headlines in the English newspapers read: "English archaeologists have found traces of 200-year-old copper wire and have concluded that their ancestors already had an advanced high-tech communications network a hundred years earlier than the Scots."
One week later, " Clare People," a southwest Irish newspaper, reported the following: "After digging as deep as 30 meters in peat bog near The Burren, Paddy O'Droll, a self-taught archaeologist, reported that he found absolutely nothing. Paddy has therefore concluded that 300 years ago, Ireland had already gone wireless."
