True is it that life's most solemn promises are not made…
“True is it that life's most solemn promises are not made but assumed, not spoken nor written. As parents it is often one of these unspoken promises that are made when we first set eyes on our children. A promise of care, concern, love, attention, provision and unrivalled backing. For the world will quickly flood the child with negativity and dead ends. Perhaps if we as parents spoke or penned our promises of aspirations, love, concern and dreams for our children, we could drown out lifes' noise just a little and create a generation moving forward with the promises unspoken on the tip of their tongue.”
