I'll keep you safe little girl, there's no need for that frown Let's wrap you up in my towel, and dry your hair, dripping down Come here, please don't cry, this is where you should be The waves are too high. Here, ... sit close to me.... You shiver and shake,....but let us soak in the sun Some castles we'll make, while the warmth holds your hand Let's lie down in the sand, make an angel, with wings Spread our arms, opened wide, and we'll hear lullabies Let's get warm for awhile and put tears far away Exchange them for smiles, until the end of the day The moon is a pearl, for the sun must depart Curl into my arms, and just stay close to my heart When it's time to go home, and the stars say goodnight I will tuck you in bed, and kiss your sweet head When the new morning comes, we will come to the shore And Mr. Sun will shine down, on the child he adores

I've read some of your poetry. When I imagine the characters, I tend to imagine God and me. Or God and some other person. Anyway, God with one of us. Talking to us. I love to read this because it just points out the different qualities that He has. Great stuff, Carrie.
