somebody's dungeon

Every so often
my little angel
takes one of her toys
wraps it up
and gives it to me.
Not for my birthday,
not for Christmas
just to see me smile.
With a kiss,
and a, "Mommy I love you"
she reaffirms my faith,
restores my hope
and warms my heart.
All with just a simple gift
wrapped up in plain paper
given with a smile.
Think what we could do
for an entire world
with the concept
of just a simple gift.

Vintage WhiteRose
Old stuff :-)

This is another beautiful write. If only people would remember the simplicity of a child more often...

I like your "vintage" "old stuff"!

It's real and it's right!

(smiles) Awwwwwww, I love this, sweet friend, this is breathtaking, I wish for all the world to rejoice in the beauty of simple gifts and love and sacrifice greed and gluttony, this is gorgeous and innocent, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Anne, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
