My Son, Daniel who is 7, thinks he is so wise, he knows just how to keep me around forever. God Bless him. His body, lean with legs straight as flag poles brown dreamy eyes that hold an innocent stare, a guiltless smile and a cheeky spark but oh, how he loves and like Saints of old he does not forget, for love is a promise and a promise is love I smile at his wisdom Mum, he says I do not wish to marry and have children, to do so, would make you a Grandmother and you will become old and die he does not know that old, I will become and die, I will I hold back the tears as his little arms wrap around my neck, he kisses me and says I love you Mum I love you too, Son Maree Russo 8/1/2001 |

DarkAngel~ Oh, my ... this is just the sweetest write from the heart of a mother. Precious renderings from the lips of a child. 'for love is a promise and a promise is love' You've given my heart a hug this morning, Maree~ I thank you. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

this is the sweetest thing I've read in a a long time..what a shame it is that we have to grow up and face the harsh realities of life..would that we could remain children forever..remain pure and innocent..as your son is now..  the woods are lovely, dark, and deep, but I have promises to keep, and many miles to go before I sleep...Frost |

Out of the mouths of babes...  What a wonderful son you have. Very good read!With a little piece of tomorrow, You'll have to kiss yesterday goodbye. Because today won't last forever, And the past will only make you cry. |
