Nestled In Emerald Love

There are times when I wish
I could have made the clock
stop at certain moments in
our life

For instance;
when your fingertips first
brushed against my cheek in
a certain knowing

And how I have this Polaroid
in my memory when I leaned
my cheek down to rest against
your forehead as you nestled
and nursed while I framed my arms
around you in the protectiveness
of my emerald love

I take another snapshot right now
wishing that clock could just stand
still a moment longer ...

You and I snuggled 5 years later
your cheek against my chest
my lips to your forehead, the warmth
of a fever giving the signs of a
long evening ahead

And yet... I wouldn't change a  thing
because in that moment...
fingertips brushed  my cheek in
a certain knowing

written with love
for my son, Raymond.
1/13/01



"...I am a river in winter,
quiet in the eyes of most
but deep,
swift and full of life
to one, lucky enough to fall through the ice.

Well Snow you know I love titles, and this one drew me in, and although it was not what I expected, it still pleases me immensely...

You have captured the love of a mother completely. I applaud!!!!!! This is excellent.

There is no love, like the love of a mother.

The greatest part of a writer's time is spent in reading, in order to write; a man will turn over half a library to make one book.
