I’d Like to See

I’d like to see a world at peace
With happiness every where.
No bitterness found in any hearts
And only love to share.

Just once I’d like to see the world
Holding hands in harmony.
Lifting their voices together
Singing out for you and for me.

I’d like to see families stay together
With no anger found in any heart.
No harsh words to fall on anguished souls
To tear their lives apart.

I’d like to see children playing
Wearing smiles and no reason for fears.
This world would be a much happier place
Joined together with never again tears.

websites for kids

Image : http://www.ides.state.il.us/

You hear a lot on the news about the dangers of being online, and how children should never be left online unattended. This is true for the most part, but there are some great websites for kids that are safe, and it would be okay for you to walk away to do the dishes once in awhile. Many of these games are geared towards kids, but don’t have things like a chat room that predators might use to talk to children. They have message boards, but they are heavily monitored.

Many of them don’t have anything like that, but they have plenty of great things for children to do. I know there are about three websites for kids.  They are safe though, and the kids going to be fine while they are on them. They loves the games that these websites for kids have, and they learn while they play.   They’re going to have to know all about computers and the Internet, and I see no harm in starting off young.

If you want good websites for kids, you should search for ones that have some sort of approval on them. There are organizations that scour the internet for websites that are safe, and they give them their seal of approval so that parents know their children will be safe there. If a site does not have this, it does not mean they are not safe, but it does mean that you should check them out on your own to see if you like what you see, or if you should move on and find something else.

Some of the fastest growing websites for kids are the ones made to aid in home schooling. These are often full of great learning games, and many crafts and ideas that a parent can use with their own child. You don’t have to be a home schooling parent to use them. You can use many of them to help your child prepare to go to kindergarten, and you can also use them to help a child that might be falling behind in school. Just remember that if you don’t want your children to be able to contact or be in contact with anyone of a questionable nature, don’t let them have email or allow them on message boards or in chat rooms while alone. If they are old enough to have email, monitor everything that goes in and comes out of it.

Transparent Butterfly

This is the info that I got from an email sent to me.  I think it’s simply gorgeous and hope you’ll feel the same way.  Enjoy!

It comes from Central America and is found from Mexico to Panama. It is quite common in its zone, but it not easy to find because of its transparent wings, which is a natural camouflage mechanism.  A butterfly with transparent wings is rare and beautiful.  As delicate as finely blown glass, the presence of this rare tropical gem is used by rain forest ecologists as an indication of high habitat quality and its demise alerts them of ecological change.  Rivaling the refined beauty of a stained glass window, the translucent wings of the Glasswing butterfly shimmer in the sunlight like polished panes of turquoise, orange, green, and red.
