Look into the eyes of your child Your son The one who bears your name . . . he knows , oh yes , he knows . . . The midnight moon she does not lie Not to me , no For she sees what you hide behind your eyes blinded . . . Your head down face turned away from my own Why can't you look me in the eye? The stars smile solace they bring As angels stand silent guard over what we made together ONCE UPON A TIME . . . [This message has been edited by littlewing (04-07-2003 03:40 AM).] |

This is painful ... but there is hope that things might change ... as you talk so openly. Very deep poem! Love. Margherita |

Little one... it is not always easy for them to acknowledge truth... which is probably why women live longer... Very good... |

You never have to worry about whether it is clear you write from your heart. Your poignant expressions of "heartpain" is obvious! A life lesson is that only through time's telescope can we see someone who went away, and that we are better off for it. Ken Through rubble and trouble and dark of night |

Why isn't there a license for parenting? Should have to take courses and pass all sorts of psyche tests before they're allowed to |

Sue, sometimes they don't realize what they're losing until they've already lost it. He probably can't look you in the eye because he doesn't want to admit that he knows what he's lost. He knows that you know the eyes tell the truth. This one hurts. Bless you, dear friend, with the raising of your child. Heart Hugs to you Ethel |
