A friend's daughter, Ashley, when she was eleven years old, encouraged me to write this book. She had mentioned that her older brother's friends were continuously stopping by when they knew her brother wasn't home. I immediately taught her and her friend a quick rhyme. "If it feels bad in your heart, then it's time to part!" A few weeks later, when I spoke to Ashley, she told me that she and a friend were at the water park and that a car with two young men had parked close by. She said it just did not feel right, and she remembered the rhyme, "If it feels bad in your heart, then it's time to part," and she and her friend immediately left the area. I feel that rhyme with reason is a great way to help children remember some of life's valuable lessons and may very well save their lives-quite possibly many times over! I also feel that children have natural inborn instincts that determine right from wrong, and if it's wrong, "then it's time to part!"
