Five Minutes Meaning was lost behind veiled eyes, pinched lips . . . body language said everything, everything was understood. You were mad at me, I didn’t care, I didn’t feel enough about your reasons to change, you were in that corner to stay, five minutes - no less, five whole minutes confining that explosive two-year old energy to one spot, to looking at one corner where two walls meet, five minutes of tears and whimpers, of holding my wrenching heart between hands that longed to lift and hug – five minutes . . . the longest of my life. w. james beard, jr (c) 2003 |

Ah James...I know how you feel.. sometimes it's much harder on us parents and grandparents to reprimand the little ones, than it is on them. Just breaks your heart doesn't it? Much enjoyed the write....good to read you tonight. ~Smiles & Hugs, Nancy~ ~Autumn, the year's last, loveliest smile~ |

 (big hugggssssssss) Oh James, this is beautiful, sweet friend, though I am not a parent, I have seen this time and time again among others and I understand the trauma, but all at once you love them too much also and after time passes by the noise can almost be soothing! (sigh) God Bless You, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet James, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton I don't need no proof when it comes to God and truth |

Jwesley, it is soooo very good to read you again! Yes, I don't believe sometimes they realize how hard it is on us to have to be the one on the giving end instead of receiving end of that scenario. Well done m'fried....very well done. Hugs.. |
