Thank you for letting me be a part of this wonderful poetic haven everyone. 10,000 posts sure went fast, lol.  I truly hope you know how much I've come to care about you all.  *~* You’ll Always Have My Heart A child not more than five years old, sat glumly in his chair, His mother watched, not far away, as silence filled the air; The teacher said, “Oh, he’ll be fine. It’s best if you just go.” “The first day is a little tough ... but he’ll adjust, you know.” She looked toward her son, and saw the sadness in his eyes, “It’s just as tough for me.” she said ... “I never liked goodbyes.” The teacher smiled, and told her, “Let him know it won’t be long.” “He’ll handle it much better, if he knows that you are strong.” His mother laughed, “I know, you’re right ... I’m just as bad as him.” Then asked to have a piece of paper, and a colored pen; She drew a heart on bright pink paper, as she formed a plan, Then folded up the piece of paper, lovingly, by hand. She walked up to her son, she knew that it was time to go; “I’m sorry hon,” she said to him, “I won’t be far you know.” “But mom ...” he whispered, “Please don’t leave ... I wish that you would stay.” She mustered up her strength, and smiled, “I won’t be far away.” She gave her son a hug, and brushed away his falling tear, “You may not always see me, but I’ll always be right –here-”, With that she took his trembling hand, and held it to his chest, “That’s where I’ll be when we’re apart ... let’s do a little test.” She handed him the pink florescent paper that she had, And tucked it in his pocket, “You just use this when you’re sad.” “Let’s try it now, pretend I’m gone ... just close your eyes my dear.” He looked at her, with trust (although she saw a twinge of fear). He closed his eyes, his lips began to tremble, and she said, “Just picture me within your mind,” (but saw his look of dread); His eyes popped open, and she laughed, “You’re cheating, that’s not fair!” He smiled, and closed his eyes again, and squirmed within his chair. He heard her stand ... he panicked, and his eyes opened again, “I’m right behind you ... close your eyes, and try to count to ten”; He did as he was told, and when he finished, heard her say, “Just reach into your pocket now, and you will be OK.” He opened up the paper, saw the heart his mom had drawn, “But mom, I know you’re standing right behind me ... you’re not gone!” She laughed and said, “Remember son ... we’re never far apart ...” “I’ll always stand behind you, and you’ll always have my heart.” “I have to go, are you alright?” She hugged her little man, “Now you be strong, I’ll see you soon ... and don’t forget our plan!” He kissed his mom, and watched her go, she turned and said “Goodbye.” He folded up the paper, and she heard his heavy sigh. She watched him from the classroom window, just a little while, Each time he pulled the bright, pink paper out ... she gave a smile; He never lost that piece of paper, always kept it close ... And pulled it out as he grew up, each time he’d need her most. Now time had passed, and here he stood, a tear fell from his eye, He saw her resting peacefully ... their final last goodbye; He reached into his pocket, as he felt his growing fears, Then grasped the piece of paper that had faded through the years. He closed his eyes and started counting, all the way to ten, Until he felt her gentle presence standing there again; A peaceful calm enveloped him, he brushed away a tear, He knew that though he could not see her, she was always near. He heard her voice begin to whisper ... “Son, we’re not apart ...” “I’ll always stand behind you, and you’ll always have my heart.” /Kit McCallum [This message has been edited by Kit McCallum (03-21-2002 02:47 PM).] |

Kit darling girl this is the most exquisite piece or poetry ever, truly one of your utter best. YOU always conjure such outstanding images and this is no exception. You’ve painted this whole picture perfectly, not a brushstroke out of place. I would say this is crafted with care and such precision the picture built in layers until the final stroke completes the picture leaving the reader with a feeling of total communication. Utterly fabulous writing. I love it 10,000 posts and I’ve enjoyed every one of them well done   Love and warm stuff As always Slushy  To give light to them that sit in darkness..... to guide our feet into the way of peace Luke 2:79 |

no congrats on the 10g's, (it just means you don't have a life ) but i will say that this is one of the most touching poems i've read in quite a while. it sent a chill through me as it wound up to a perfect ending. excellent way to tie the whole thing up Kit, a sad/happy ending that fit perfectly with the loving tone of the remainder.peace C |

Oh Kit, how touching. What a great "special milestone" post. I was going through things from my Grandma today, and I got just that feeling, so sad, but you know they are close, somehow. I have her marriage certificate to my Grandfather,and it just touches me so to hold it. Anyway, thanks for this. Sandra |

Kit this is outstanding...interesting and touching...reminded me of my first day in school... I remember thinking that I didn't like it so I thought that I would just go home...we lived about three blocks from the school so I jumped up and took off out the door for home...my dad just happened to be home and he spanked me right back to that school...I don't remember leaving again...James |

Wow Kit. There are very very few times when a poem can bring a lump to my throat. But I have to tell you this is one of those times. I’ve rarely read a piece that is so uplifting, so touching and so beautifully sad all at once. Congratulations on 10,000…we are fortunate indeed to have you here.

I forgot to save it, as last time I was crying and didn't get to read it properly, and this time I didn't do much better! Good thing we have that library. Wow Kit, this was really something else. ~* Reality is an illusion ~ albeit a persistant one *~ |
