Still Come with me into the evening now as the horizon absorbs the pewter sky and turns it dusky for the children are blowing horns and their voices are glee tuned Across my sloping gloom they wave their bright balloons I can hear them out the window the girls in whisper of giggle their scooters sweep the street and scatter the tiny blossoms of the golden rain tree They take me into their hello their eyes shaded for a moment as I try to take some joy from them they turn down the moment with a shrug and I am left watching myself so many years ago hiding go seek Fall has not caught the air yet and summer’s boys still sit on curbs long into the evening waiting waiting for the growing to be over and complete to happen I could tell them that I wait too but they would not understand but I sit with them just the same across the street on my own curb still growing still --- repost from 10-01 because some things don't change |

I should go find my response from then, because some things...like everlasting friendships... don't change... |

Heaven forbid we should ever stop growing  Fool, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write. |

 (smiles) Some things never change, and some things do, and that is a beautiful feeling! I believe we are all born to change and grow older, but what can never change is the sweet girl inside of your heart that will always smile on and deep down those hide-and-seek and hop-scotch days will always live on! (kiss on cheek) This is sooooooo beautiful, sweet friend, God Bless your heart, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Martie, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

Martie...this is a treasure...can I come sit beside you on that curb....while I watch two boys across the street trying to sell lemonade...or riding in their wagon up and down the sidewalk outside their grandmother's house......... |
