The Eclipse of the Masters
The spark extinguished.
Expecting and demanding our
Children to follow the well-beaten path,
Learning to accept “we’ve always done it like this,”
Inhibits and illegitimatizes the child’s spark. It is to throw a
Pall over their passion and their very being – blocking their personal
Spark of individuality and inspirational ideas and -
Eclipsing the potential of those who could have been the masters and geniuses of our future.

>That was a bad idea. I thought you knew… >Oh, the pathos! I don’t really know you as well as I should. In fact, I may not know the real you at all. That essential, sparkling you that you only reveal to a select few. Had I been paying more attention to the stories you are so fond of telling, in which you are invariably author, narrator and protagonist, I would not have been so foolish as to set you up on a blind date. After all, no friend has ever done anything of the kind for another. That’s preposterous. What is a friend, really?

I knowwww right! Instead, we should take the time to explain to them why should it be done in a certain way. Loved your Acrostic!
