Daughter, My Dear As I look upon you And I see you growing too fast I know the wonder you feel The fear in your eyes Are products of what you notice Happening in your world The nightmares you have Of being trapped Beneath that tall building you watched fall THe cries I hear at night fearing that Daddy is going away to die Because he was a Marine And that is what they are doing now. I am sorry, my Dearest One, I cannot cause this pain to leave This is a light I cannot turn on No monsters will be chased from the dark This is the world I have left you And the pain you must endure While all I can do Is to hold you tight And sing to you while you sleep Random thoughts after singing my 8 y/o daughter to sleep after discussing world events. Why can't they believe in Santa Clause forever??? ~You might say I'm a Dreamer, but I'm not the only one... |

What she is going to remember above all, is that you held her....loved her...and kept her safe. |

  (big huggggsssssss) God Bless You, dearest friend, my prayers are with all the children in the world as it hurts me to see so many traumatized and victimized by this news and I only pray all their innocence can be held dear to them and as much tears and violece can be concealed from them as possible! (sad sigh) I send heart hugs out to you and your daughter, sweet friend, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Bradly, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |
