You

 

 

You touched

my hand

and said

look Mum

and I

looked at you

and smiled

 

You fell

and skinned

your knee

and almost wept

while the

other kids laughed

my heart cried

 

You slept

in dream-tossed bed

with your foot

sticking out

and I

tucked you snug

into my soul

The only way to sleep and with your feet sticking out! Otherwise, you just get too hot!
Indeed it is so, Bob! LOL

Very sweet. Tugged my soul.
Thank you, Sheila ... memories are made of instances like this.
Awww....the sweet memories of our children. Too soon they grow up and leave home, but we always have the imprint of them on our souls. I like this one very much, Magi.
