The sound of sadness |

The sound of sadness While walking one night with a fine little girl The roses’ fair scent gave my nose such a swirl The iris and glads gave a life to the town The question she asked of me gave me a frown ”Now what is that sound”, as she giggled so dear This grandchild of mine that I just barely hear ”Which sound do you hear, child?” I wanted to know But couldn’t discern ‘mid the traffic’s loud flow It cheeps with a click, so she spoke of the sound If ears could but squint, I would listen profound To cheeps and to clicks; and this problem I’d lick it For what she heard clear, but not I was a cricket |

(big hugggssssss) Oh Ken, this is so very sad, sweet friend, it is difficult to see our loved ones grow up and have children asking us questions and trying our best not to feel heartbroken or break their hearts with the truth! (sad sigh) This is a very touching write, sweet friend, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Ken, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

There may be sadness here, but this has such a lilt to it that it makes it bittersweet, not sad, to read. [This message has been edited by ngoliant (03-14-2003 05:25 PM).] |
