This is NOT a job for superheroes

Caped wonders with super powers have been created throughout history during times when people were in dire need of "heroes". They could fly or do a Houdini from the arch-rival's snare. But, these heroes stay on the comic book (or the silver screen). Hence, we in the real world face challenges ourselves--sans super powers. Whether it's families breaking apart or declining literacy in the country, it is we who answer the call from where we are, with what we have.

A picture and a poem

I came across this charming photo, and decided to look for a poem written by a child to accompany such a cute image. Found one at The Poetry Zone.

Always There for You by Orit Addous (aged 11)

Tissues are always there for you
There after you use the loo.

There when you shed a tear
For joy, sadness or fear.

There when you have a cold
And feel abandoned, helpless and old.

Just face it - the best friend for you
Is a soft, caring tissue.

Although I have to admit that there are some other uses of tissues that haven't been taken advantage of here: for instance, wiping up a coffee mark stain)? That rhymes with pain, which could tie in with the abandoned/old section.
