We were two little children
with the sun on our skin,
playing naked in the water,
innocent of sin.

Acting out our stories,
our games were all in fun,
playing naked in the water
by the seashore in the sun.

We played at being heroes,
villains, crooks and thieves,
Peter Pan and Tinkerbell,
pirates on the seas!

Suddenly I'm longing
to find you once again,
to see if you remember.
Do you remember when?

Our eyes danced together,
how imaginations flew!
I've never been so happy
as when I played with you.

We were two little children
with the sun on our skin,
playing naked in the water,
innocent of sin.
For Sue.

Words. Power of Words.
Can cut or heal the soul.
Whether an adult or a child
Words should strive to make them whole.
                  -------
Never let a good word
      go unspoken.
It may lift a heart so
          very broken.
See the smile on their face
          begin to grow.
Lifting the spirit to heights...
          you do not know.

Words. The Power of Words
Can cut or heal the Spirit.
Good words can heal the heart
We need to believe it.

I am writing this more for me...
Not you... who are Perfect. ;-))

My grandson Tony (5) said to me
while we were shopping,  
"When I grow up Grandpa,
I want to be just like you."  
I replied to Tony, " I hope you
won't be grumpy like your grandpa."
He just laughed the sweetest laugh.  
Maybe I am doing OK.

Crying on the phone
tears cross short miles to stain my face
desperate, desolate
loved but not valued
carrying her family
forward with her love and her heart
when will the tide turn
when will they say
"Mum are you ok?"
I say I love you, They love you
they just don't show it or
do what you need to breathe and soar
How is it women can cry so often,
and cry so hard without just dying
That despair would **** me
this despair might

— The End —
