Be careful that what you perceive is

Not what the world leads you to believe

An impression

Even one made with digression can cause you to mislead

It can plant the gossip seed

If you are not careful and others are not ware full

A jewel of a person may be buried like treasure

May you go to every measure to uncover that treasure

Get to know their inner being

It may be different than what you’re seeing

Before you make your decision

Learn about them with precision

Be careful

The Witch of Blackbird Pond is a very captivating and entertaining book. It is easy to read and pulls you into the storyline quickly. The Witch of Blackbird Pond was a pretty good book and hard to put down.
