How Wonderfully true this is....
I dont think any human on this earth
can warm your heart more or cut it deeper
than a child. They are such gifts from God

Really enjoyed this

Glad you enjoyed Queen of this house
I so appreciate your time to not just read
(sing along LOL) but to leave such a heart warming
comment.
Thank you
Hugs

Good write and thought on a well-chosen subject, Liz. It brought back to mind something my grandmother said at the age of 93, "People seem to think they are finished with their children when they leave home at 18 to 21. I'm here to tell you, your child is your child for life." The older I get, the more I realize she was exactly right----Jerry

Very good but in each stanza I would remove the bottom line. It is not necessary and distracts from the rest. Pamela Murawski

Is this a specific form of poetry? I liked the repeating theme of peace. Another apt title for this piece could be "finding peace"...

Hello Liz,

I can feel the love, concern, joy, longing and acceptance all rolled into every paragraph. I can relate to this one hundred percent. Beautiful rendering of your thoughts as a mother.

May 2009 bring you good luck, more love and peace of mind. Be well.

Love,
Sheri

all too true and beautifully chronicled, Liz. The pain and joy in equal measure is powerfully captured in your maternal-heartfelt lines here. May 2009 bring many-faceted blessings to you and yours. Kate xx

Very touching Elizabeth, we have raised five and watched as four moved on to make a new life and our baby girl still lives at home at the age of 23 and it tears my heart out at the thought of her leaving again. We went through it when she went of to university. Thank you for sharing.

Newfie hugs, Rose

You are so right with this one, after raising three daughters and now as a grandfather of four I can sit back and see time racing away with each child's birthday...but what a calender.
