Christmas morning three years young maybe four I recall the shining candy apple red surprise beneath the tree for me Coasting twelve steps like a bird in flight giggling like children seem to do when they are blind That memory sadly fades crumbling and tattered like the edges of your picture black and white |

Ditto the bluesy girl. And  If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again. |

I share that feeling of a troubled fathers day. Nothing can replace the pain. Please know that regardless of the past, I am assured you turned out great & are loved deeply by many. You are a blessing to all those with whom you come in contact with, even those of us who only are blessed by the light of your poetry. A Bearhug to you my friend & thank-you for sharing |

I was trying NOT to read the Dad poems this year--so? I waited until today, as if today was going to be easier. Hugs, Sweet Sue. |

Susie, Your writing becomes more and more Identifiably yours. Epee lean and stilletto sharp, you have found a vehicle to carry your voice. |

Healing is in the ability to write out past pains. You show great ability, with much talent, to boot! Blessings! Shirl Till oceans cease to flow and deserts lose their sands, may beauty surround you every day and wealth be in your hands. |

"Coasting twelve steps like a bird in flight giggling like children seem to do when they are blind" you capture this perfectly... and you're right we were blind as children and sometimes i wish we still were. |

"like children seem to do when they are blind" Littlewing, this poem is wonderfully written. It is so true, when we are young, we cannot see the "bad" in anyone -- our eyes won't allow it. This is going in my library  Every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end... |
