Noah Counting Love

.

    I woke this morning
       yes this morning
and felt the warmth of love
      ‘pon mine forehead
           and my face
           and my ears 
           and my nose

      I woke this morning
         yes this morning
and heard the warmth of love
     close to mine forehead
            and my face
            and my ears
            and my nose

      I woke this morning
         yes this morning
  and heard his words of love
       “Don’t worry Pops
  I washed my fingers before
I counted the wrinkles on your
               forehead
               your face 
               your ears
            and your nose"

Hgarvey Daniel Esquire February 25, 2015 at 7:40 AM Dear Sir James, Hope this finds YOU and YOURS Healthy and High in the Spirit. I have traveled a long way since last we spoke. My ink well is full, I have plenty of Parchment, but my mind is empty. How is Noah? I share in YOUR joy of having a son so Loving, that he washed his fingers before counting so as not to smudge a single earned wrinkle. I have missed the Soup a lot. I just recently celebrated 2 years of sobriety life changed for the better. LOVE YOU ALWAYS and FOREVER your Liege...HG James Peranteau December 16, 2023 at 2:34 AM ;)

Kp Nunez February 16, 2015 at 11:34 PM Sweet...love, rhythm and rhyme just flowed from your pen. Made me smile, made me laugh, made me think of children's innocence for awhile...Definitely a 7. More smiles from the land of sunshine and thousand isles. :D Kim
