 ~* A Quilted Evening *~ She said, “Will you please read to me?” As I gently tucked her in. Laying her head upon my knee, She waited patiently for me to begin. I became a tender pillow To a child with skin so fair. Soon,my worn and weary fingers Laced through strands of silken hair. This life’s so very good to me, For its love that makes me whole. This memory I was capturing Was food for a craving soul. There is no better time to spend No matter where you look, Than reading to an open mind A few pages of a storybook. I would choose a quilted evening Over treasure chests of gold, Just to share this time together, As a simple fairytale is told. "Once Upon A Time" comes but once, So I make the time to read. Hoping years down the road They too will follow my lead. ~* For My Tori *~ Today I'm only moving clouds, tomorrow I'll try mountains. |

This is great, Sharon - Reading together is what special moments are made of... Of course I make Cassandra read to ME, though...  |
