And there she stands In stone defiance To my answer Jaw set firm Chin down The dark eyes of rage Piercing out from beneath brooding bangs Body rigid Arms straight Each fist clenched too white Wanting to strike the anvil of anger A foot stomps A puff of fury She starts to tremble As madness seeks expression Standing at the brink Out sticks a tongue A face is made And laughter explodes My answer still stands But she's to busy Giggling from tickling To care about What she can't have This is better |

Andrew, Thank you for giving me a reason to smile today. Brings back fond memories. This is an excellent piece.  Friends are friend forever if the Lord's the Lord of them and a friend will not say never cause the welcome will not end. --Michael W. Smith |

This is WONDERFUL. Full of love and life and fun. I was giggling by the end of the poem. How marvelous that you could put this into words. Bravo, on the poetry and on fatherhood Liz |

-Andrew... You sound like a wonderul father...quite similar to mine! This was lighthearted and fun, but also held a very lovely message. I think you have this fatherhood thing down pretty well. Thanks for sharing this! Made me smile. AMY ~Live today as though it were your last but prepare for tomorrow as though it were here~ |

Andrew~ Oh my ! I just had to send this to my daughter. Reminded me of the day we were eyeball to eyeball and I suddenly realized she was taller than me ... I immediately took charge and said 'Sit Down !' ... and we both started laughing with what we'd discovered. What joyous moments are shared in those moments of 'parenthood'. Thank you for this adorable reminisce. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

Andrew, I have had the privilege of reading several of your poems that have dealt with your family and your family life and I must say they, and you, are truly blessed to have each other. Wonderful writing, sir. |

Thanks one and all for your kind words... I'd also like to say thanks to my own parents who are wonderful people. They raised me to be the father I am today. I'm glad I was able to bring smiles to some and fond memories to others... I couldn't ask for more. Peace to you all. [This message has been edited by Andrew Scott (edited 04-06-2000).] |

Applauding this piece sir! LOL I find myself getting so frustrated at times...it won't be long, and my 5 yr. old son will be taller than me! Argh! This gave me reason to laugh, and learn from your doings. It's hard sometimes - to remember to "love" in the toughest of times. Thank you. |
