Spring Sky

. Shinning the squinting child with hands firmly fixed and stride in rhythm with his proud smile off he did scoot my precious my As he sung of joy and his loving God off he did scoot and oh tumbled off No not a tear did he shed no he did not cry he simply laid back and stared at that blue spring sky

We so often see wonder in a child's eyes. A beautiful thing to see.

just great! And in that inimitable Sir James style. Here is the tender love of a child put in such a way that the reader simply must chuckle with joy. Love, daver

Stoic and somber. This poem reflects that quality towards the end. I hope that you take the draft as a sign for football this fall. the Redskins need a good draft. Haynsworth is a BLEEP! You are better off without him, PERIOD. I always enjoy your work. Regards, Gerard.
