In a certain spring in a frigid valley hill,
Where the children play in ways yet so merry still,
Water cascades on rocks and ragged upland sides,
Blue azure splashes drop; damp matted hair collides.
Tears from joy in the frigid highland fountain merge,
Shafts of daylight through the trees a pool a-lighted purge.
Whilst the little tikes like little sprites with their noses,
Bend their knees as they please to stop 'n smell the roses.

*sigh* you painted a vision for me in which tiny fairies were watching human children at play in a pool of water set in a scene surrounded by trees that echoed with the joyful laughter of their play....Stunning...simply stunning. This poem is a keeper for me. Thank you. **big hugs**

Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams.
