Cookies and Milk

“Think what a better world it would be if we all, the whole world, had cookies and milk about three o’clock every afternoon and then lay down on our blankets for a nap.” Barbara Jordan There’s not a single problem in the world that couldn’t be solved by sharing a cookie, a smile, and a hug. Imagine if before discussing nuclear arms or trade negotiations, our world leaders simply sat down, shared a glass of milk, a few cookies, and a quick nap. Maybe they would all dream of world peace. No child was ever Born with hatred and mistrust We have taught them well

A good poem of true happenings. We need to face society problems, as this poem indicates.

Knowing our congress, one side would claim that the other side is trying to make everybody fat.

You solved the world’s problems or did you just start a fight about who gets the first cookie. I love this, truly!
