DAD I sleep. When I awake, my eyes flutter open, and there you stand. Your head is slightly inclined, as if to say, "what? Thought you could sleep all morning?" |_ |_ I laugh. You laugh as well, and we share a joke together and sigh with content. Why was that so funny? We wonder. Nobody else would understand the humour. |_ |_ I lean. For the moment, you are my pillow. Resting in the soft sand, we share a quiet moment in time. |_ |_ I climb. The tree is high but there you are beneath me, ready to catch me if I slip and fall. |_ |_ I play. You will win, But the game is still fun. |_ |_ I smile. I am someone special. |_ |_ I love - you. |

Sven ~ anything to get him off my back and stop him from calling me ungrateful! Hehe, just kidding very much appreciated indeed. James ~ thank you for the smile James Keth ~ it still does not express all that he is but it was from my heart with love I'm glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for stopping by!
