you arrived, that rainy August morn innocent and trusting, our own firstborn ten tiny fingers, ten perfect toes lips like a rosebud cute little nose created of our passion, you are us woven of our love in a moment of lust the epitome of our love for one another forever, you are us not just one, nor the other through you, our us-ness will always be through your children and theirs through eternity in you, our faces are one our hearts beat as one our legacy of love our firstborn son copyright2001 Lyra Nesius |

Thanks Larry, Eric was born on Aug. 25, 1969. The winter before he was born was a very snowy one in NYC, where we lived at the time.....but I don't know if thats why he was born when he was. Thanks for the reply.  copyright2001 Lyra Nesius |

Thanks Noah, for the congratulations, but I think you misunderstood...probably because I never did say when he was born. But my son wasn't just born......he was born 32 yrs ago. Unfortunately, he died on July 8, 2000. He is the one about whom my poem "The Stone" is written. copyright2001 Lyra Nesius |

Lyra, I hope you don't mind. This poem needs a "bump" and, I think, a link. The Stone [This message has been edited by Larry C (01-08-2002 10:36 PM).] |
