Yo, listen up, here's a story... There's a friend I know, who was in distress Who still required a whole lot of care What he needed was warm n' loving caress And his dad ran off--to who knows where? He's not your typical dragonlike guy Mostly because he's hard as stone; How he can exist, only God knows why And he just hates being alone-- Literally a statue, only seven years old And everything seems a wonder untold And he'll squeeze you to death, to have and to hold... On living life, this guy is sold, He'll bear with it, be it hot or cold; He's still quite green, and easy to mold-- But I wouldn't want to change him now... His body is rocky yet warm and alive; It's still a wonder how he can survive! And get to know him, a truth will unfold: His body is stone but his heart's of gold. -Henry Dragon |

Welcome to the Pub. This is sweet. Made me think of our own Little Spyro.< !signature--> ...Give me the strength to walk the soft earth, a relative to all that is.... Black Eagle Oglala Sioux holy man [This message has been edited by childomine (edited 04-12-2000).] |

this makes me feel pain for that child. this is beautiful. to have that hope again, that hunger to love. you must have volumes of masterpieces waiting to be hung. [This message has been edited by kynder (edited 04-12-2000).] |

Beautiful and touching.. You're right, a heart of gold does wonders.. Looking forward to seeing more of your work. MAY THE ROAD RISE TO MEET YOU, MAY THE WIND BE ALWAYS AT YOUR BACK MAY THE SUN SHINE UPON YOUR FACE THE RAINS FALL SOFT UPON YOUR FIELDS AND, UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN, MAY GOD HOLD YOU IN THE PALM OF HIS HAND Irish Blessing |
