State of constant confusion!

My little boy left me a message
written in crayon blue
He drew a picture of our family
and signed it "I luv yoo"

I had never been more proud
than at that very moment in time
The colors of this family's love
flow more freely than the sweetest wine

As I look around this house
at his artwork on our walls
I can't help but notice it's everywher
even up the stairs and down the hall

When I look in every room
I see all Crayola's hues
But, my mind keeps going back to the refrigerator
and his message in crayon blue

****************************************

I wish we got to see each other more often, but it makes the time we do get together all that much sweeter!

  Is "families" in S2L3 intended to be possessive? (family's)

  Sometimes I'm a little sad that I'll never have children, but I made my decision about this when I myself was a child and held to it. Always nice to know that some families are strong and healthy.

I no longer ask who I am, or even what I am. It has dawned on me that there are no answers to such questions, except for our feeble-minded notions.

Oh, this really is wonderful, Jeffrey.  Children are so honest, and their love is so very special.  Those colors will never fade, you know....~S~

Music washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life

This was so sweet, Jeffrey.  I hope you save this poem for him and give it to him when he is older.
