What's that sounding? |

My little one has always had ears as sharp as an eagle has eyes but just recently he found out that sounds are worthy of questioning and worthy of expecting an answer especially right after the lights go out and we are snuggled under the covers... what's that sounding, gramma? and I sort through everthing I can hear from cars, tv's, wind, the dogs outside, the dogs inside and try to dicern what his little ears have picked out and give him an answer that will satisfy his curious three year old brain. I really don't worry if I pick the wrong "sounding" for I know the question will be repeated until I do get it right. And I know he only uses the sounds in the night as an excuse to stay awake a little longer but I also know that he really can't go to sleep until each sound has been identified and put to rest. And if it weren't pitch black he would see a smile on my lips as he asks again what's that sounding? and we cuddle and explore the sounds in the night until finally there are no more... |

A tender moment shared. . . That last "sounding" has got to be the beating of your hearts. . . Wonderful. . . ---------------------------------------------------- That which gives light must endure burning --Victor Frankl |

well yesterday was to be my last here, but my little one is my smiles these days, and the poems about him touch me more than any of the ones about the pain that I write, so had to say thank you, am glad you read, am glad you enjoyed  |

Miles instead of darkness Hide my smile from view But I hope you realize How much I care for you. I understand that silence Is sometimes what we need. When tears will not stop flowing, When loving hearts just bleed, When fear's our constant companion And rage our driving force We must gather our faculties And find a better course. I pray you find your answers, Your spirit soars high and free But don't ever forget, dear Lovey You have a friend in me. Give your little one a big hug for me. *S* |

Corazon Now this is great writing. I can see you snuggled in bed and smiling as each sound appears. Yanno what would be a lot of fun? Why not let me hide under your bed and make horrific screams. Boy! That would really make him laugh - hah hah hah (maniacal laughing). I really enjoyed this work, Corazon. It is uplifting, and shows that, even in dark times, there is light. Belle - What a beautiful peom you've written. You have so much to give, and you do it so well. Love ya, lil Belle. [This message has been edited by LngJhnAg (edited 09-26-2000).] |
