So kiss your daughter
And hug your son,
Till the night takes your reason
And the love burns your bones.
 
They laugh at you now,
For a while they still will,
So laugh with them longer
And do not think ill.

A beautiful little poem, sometimes I wish I had children especially small children steal one's heart. Do you have? In the end thrown into the world they too must make their own way, fight their own fights, take their own chances. Without choice it is as if they start out completely helpess and totally dependent and soon grow to be other people, distinct, seperate.

I think your poem tells something of this too.

Keep well! Tom Brown

The shy assassin.

I was thinking there that this could inspire a bit of writing out. Could almost be the name of cw project.
