Hear the words flow
feel the softest of touch
Listen to a lullaby
I miss you much

Hear the beat of a heart
as love flows through a vein
Memories of my child
thoughts that will remain

Rest my little one, do not fret
keep our hearts within your own
Sleep my darling in your bed
this love we have, not alone.

Feel the flowers bend to touch
Hear the birds softly sing
Know we are waiting to hold
Know we are doing everything.

My little one, precious child
My darling of my rushing blood
Be patient for just a while
I’d be there if only I could

Wouldn't it be wonderful if we could be everywhere our children were?  I guess that's why God made grandparents...to be there for the children when the folks have their hands busy...

a tender piece, Magnus...very tender, very nice...

Hello Barry

This one really pulled at my heartstrings, so very beautiful.

Take care.....Sue

I am blue
Love is an ocean
I'm anchored in you

Magnus darling heart and keeper of the stars incandescent shine, this reflection of your soul’s care is one of the best, the very best I’ve ever read by you. You have in this wonderful flow of words written your heart, you’ve shown me a glimpse of the soul that lies within wrapped in love and touched by harmony. In this utterly perfect poem you’ve excelled yourself yet again.

This is truly exquisite writing and I love it love it love it utterly. As always darling heart YOU are perfection personified and I love it. Sing sweetly dear poet and your words will waft on the wings of night. Truly gorgeous writing


Love and warm stuff
As always
Mushy

Breathe through the heat of our desire
Thy coolness and they balm
Let sense be dumb let flesh retire
Speak through the earthquake wind and fire
