Lets play hide and seek You run and hide And I won't peek … seven, eight, nine and ten Here I come! Let the search begin Could you be below the stair? How about behind the chair? Giggles abound, but not from there Laughter resounds without a care Looky, Daddy! Here we are! Comes girlish shrills not so far Here we are behind the door Same place that we hid before You found us Daddy! Yes you did Indeed I found you where you hid Can we play some more? Can we please? "Yes" is the answer to their pleas … seven, eight, nine and ten Here I come! Let the search begin. First place that I always start I search inside My loving heart |

What a terrific poem! It brings on a sense of melancholy for the days when my girls were young and giggling. How I hope I will have lots of grandchildren to give me a chance to relive those wonderful moments. For now, I'll gladly settle for this remarkable poem. |

Ladies and Gentlemen: Thank you all for your kind responses. I'm glad that my words could bring happy thoughts of what was, is or may be. My children bring me new joys every day and I always make sure there is plenty of time to play, for I hear the loss to often from those who wish they had and never did. Happy times to you and yours. Again, my thanks to you all.  [This message has been edited by Andrew Scott (edited 09-07-99).] |

Very wonderful!!! Reminds me of when my kids were little. Now that they're grown I really miss all the little games we used to play. But grandkids are agrowin' and on the way so soon I'll get to revel in a child's laughter again. Thanks for the memories of such sweet days. ------------------ Words lay dormant in the recesses of the mind til called forth to a labor of love. By WildChild |

This was great! And touching as well, I am a mother of 3. The laughter and gigglin oh how sweet it is! I want to state something here, that I give you much credit for taking the time with your kids! Lots of daddy's don't do that! You're a special DAD for giving that attention to your kids, for they truly need that! God Bless You!!! |

Thank you WhiteDove. Blessed I am with the family I have, but we decided to stop at two so that we wouldn't be out numbered. My best to you and yours. |
