To dream of the person you would like to be is to waste the person that you are.

My Son...a poem Jan 29, 2004 23:32:46 GMT -5

My son lights candles in the dark
And each reveals in part
The little things not seen or heard
That lie within my heart
One candle lights a corner which
I'd thought indeed was bare
Illuminating some small deed
I'd left forgotten there
Another candle brings to light
Some incidental word
So unimportant in itself
I thought it went unheard
But when repeated back to me
It brings a special glow
As I become acquainted with
The self I did not know
My son lights candles in my heart
Which make life bright for me
As in there glow I catch a glimpse
Of a more worthy me

May your heart always play a song of joy, and when there are tears, may they nourish the seeds of your dreams so that they grow into reality.

I couldn't find the authors name anywhere. Guess I should have mentioned that earlier. All the compliments were so nice too. Oh well, maybe one day I can write that well.
