What more can you ask for in a person?

But what less can you accept?

My mission is to inspire kids to embrace these four values. My personal medium is poetry, which you'll find peppered throughout this space. I hope that you enjoy it, and, if you like it, share it. Mostly, though, I encourage you to reach out to kids in your own way. If we really expect them to lead the world someday, they are going to need a lot of HELP.

My name is Ed DeCaria. I look pretty much like this, depending on when I last got a haircut. I write poems for kids (in perfect meter and rhyme, almost every time). I still look up words in the dictionary. I write about baseball between innings. I'll be about 5 minutes late.
