This was so touching, Celyia. Being a mother, it made my heart expand. The tone of the poem, and the tender way the parent is speaking to the child all ring so familiar. You did a marvelous job putting it all into words.

I would quote you my favorite lines, but I realized that it's the ENTIRE first paragraph, the entire second paragraph, the entire fourth paragraph... lol.

Hope all is well. I too have lost time to write, but I don't forget the authors who made the biggest impression on me. And you're one of them!

:)

This was beautifully written. The words you chose just made the meaning that much stronger. Very good job on this one.
