This is my answer to Lone Wolf's challenge to me. Thanks for the title LW. 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 families 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 All my love, Jeffrey I lie awake in a world filled with dreams, but dreams can be so real when you don't know you're asleep |

Awe....this is so sweet Jeffrey! Sounds like my house all colored up with crayon. Though, my son is not yet old enough to write yet. But he tells me he loves me all the time! Beautiful!  ~Sheri |

A farewell is before you can meet again. And meeting again after a moment or a lifetime is certain for those who are friends."

you just need to be kissed for this one my friend... A-DOR-A-BLE very sweet Jeff-gator jm And it's good that I'm not angry, I just need to get over, I'm not angry, anymore Cry when you cry, run when you run, love when you love, represent the ashes that you leave behind ~MB20~ "What the caterpillar calls the end ... The world calls a butterfly" ~Lao Tze Tao~ ~Butterflies are meant to be free~ |

that was really cute and wonderful. a great poem. 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 ------------------------ "Take nothing but pictures. Leave nothing but footprints. Kill nothing but time". Baltimore Grotto "To be nobody-but-yourself-in a world which is doing its best night and day, to make you everybody else - means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting." E.E Cummings. "Art is a lie which makes us realise the truth." Pablo Picasso "You do not destroy an idea by killing people; you replace it with a better one". Edward Keating ----- |

Thanks y'all!!! Lone Wolf issued this challenge to me about a month ago and I just couldn't find the inspiration to answer it until my 6 year old son left his message for me on our refrigerator. That was all it took Glad you all enjoyed All my love, Jeffrey I lie awake in a world filled with dreams, but dreams can be so real when you don't know you're asleep |

This was absolutely adorable Jeffrey, and glad the inspiration came right from your little one himself ... you could have wallpapered our whole house with just what was on the fridge! Loved the poem Jeffrey, and loved the little memories it brought back! Thanks. Best wishes, /Kit |
