I thought that this would be an inspirational first post. My friend Donna sent it to me and I wanted to share it with others. This poem is an example of why I, and a lot of other families, choose to homeschool....

Mary Had A Little Lamb

Mary had a little lamb, his fleece was white as snow

And everywhere that Mary went,

the lamb was sure to go.

He followed her to school each day,

Twasn't even in the rule.

He made the children laugh and play

To have a lamb at school.

And then the rules all changed one day,

Illegal it became;

To bring the lamb of God to school,

Or even speak His name.

Every day got worse and worse,

And days turned into years,

Instead of hearing children laugh,

We heard gunshots and tears.

What must we do to stop the crime

That's in our school's today?

Let's let the lamb come back to school,

And teach our kids to pray!
