The words of a child Are swaddled in truth Simplicity crowned by The wonder of youth A whim to remember A thought to engrave Into books where angelic Expressions are saved I meant to repeat it To loved ones and friends And savor the joy That such sharing extends Oh, how did I let Such a lyrical phrase Slip deep into yesterdays Mystical haze? Oh, another sweet gem From a babe's tender lips To be etched on a page By these old fingertips No need for a pencil I’m really quite clever I’ll remember this one, dear For ever and ever Elizabeth Santos |

I ran a daycare for about ten years, and to this day each child is so precious to me. It was not only a magical time in their lives, but also in mine. Your poem is special to me. Thanks, and happy Saturday to you. |

Liz, I still remember the things my girls use to say or ask me. Especially, my youngest daughter. |

How true Liz. Well, I have a little story as usual. I said to my daughter-in-love I think I will join the Rec Center to lose some of this weight I've been putting on as I feel fat. She said, "Well you sure don't look fat, you look great!" My granddaughter pipes up in a loud voice and says, "Mommy don't you remember? You told Daddy this morning when we were eating pancakes that Gramma was getting fat! Out of the mouths of babes is right. You have to love them - and animals. |
