Child's Play

Child's Play Bouncing around on burbled bubbles Balloons surprising Tiny fingers Toddles sweet innocence Giggling With delighted glee Sun shaft alights Bright through windows Lands on the carpet A golden ball For wondered excitement Laughs aloud And to my amazed eyes My daughter Rushed tottering over Picked up this nonchalant tossed sun pool And threw the light Back to the skies

Colin this poem is quite simply precious - our children are truly amazing in their capacity to to comprehend way more than we would ever guess and to forgive more than we ever could - My daughter teaches me things everyday - God Bless, MJ

The gift to all parents,,,memories. Too often I get so busy but then something will replay the tenderness of a moment or sometimes a pureness of joy you don't get from the real world. You're blessed kiddo. Laurie
