a very short poem.
BOY Legs drawn up so deeply asleep. Teddy and precious crocodile close by, it touches me. Eyelids tight sealed lips parted. So still, head on your arm, a flutter of gentle breath. I sit on your bed, observing. You will never be this young again And I? I will always be old to you, my child

Indeed a touching moment. These little observations are like keepsakes that we keep the rest of our lives. Well done, Fabian.

Hi Fabian
I'm only saying what you already know - make the most of him while you can. They grow up far too quickly!!! Be well, Liz

the son is convince he's older than the father. -gene.
