now that you have come, to join your brother, it is good that you have arrived in late spring, just before the summer’s heat I am amazed by you, easier you came, less weary am I, more able to enjoy your sweet fingers and toes and cornflowering blue eyes… for they were my gift when first I came here, a small bouquet left on the door’s threshold, that first May that celebrated my first year of arrive, ever since, praying for a daughter to lift my heart, and if she had cornflowering blue eyes, my prayers were heard I note your birth 1870, the bible will hold it, and it is acknowledged with head bowed… it hasn’t been a simple life, but scored and underlined, in hope the Indians will allow us the peace we need to just plant the seed to raise the crops my heart seizes each time their calls echo through the land in silence they come to watch and wait I feel their need to have us return to where we belong but he won’t go my dear sweet babe, rest your cornflowering blue eyes and I shall hold you close to my breast, and we shall pray together, that the Indian and our family shall live, side by side to see the cornflowers of the years to come [This message has been edited by Sunshine (edited 05-19-2001).] |

you tell these stories so well. . . I'm reading one a day, if you don't mind. . . just to let them soak in before I move on to the next one. . . -------------------------------------------------------------- To the world, you may only be one person. But to one person, you may be the world. |
