sleeping late was never an option on Addison Street, Mary believed that whole "early bird" thing therefore we, her children, grew up gathering worms at sunrise I'm all grown up now and admit questioning the value of a handful of worms at sunrise; I question quietly, though, because questioning anything Mary believes to be true is always tricky and requires a certain diplomatic expertise I must admit (never to Mary), the possibility of a few less worms is not all that disturbing; I am, however, programmed (Pavlov would be proud) to waking with the sun, and doubt that will ever change-- but, there is one thing you have taught me that I fear Mary never learned; after sunrise, after the gathering, there is something quite extraordinary about sliding between the sheets and waking all over again with you "And it was at that age...Poetry arrived in search of me...And something started in my soul." |

Saw the title, saw the author, knew I had to come in...and I was not in the least disappointed, in fact, quite elated with this poem of supreme excellence! A wonderful read and the ending...absolutely marverlous! Whether on the shoal or on the shore, |
