Notes from My Children

Notes from my Children...

I have some priceless treasures
in my possession
More valuable than diamonds
more precious than works of art
They are the Love Letters
written just for me,
the notes from my children...











I will translate:

Dear Mum
I love you
and I give you
a big kiss

One day
my Mum was so nice to me
I said thank you
to my Mum

Sorry for being naughty
and I have drawn this picture
for you
because I love you...

Out of the Mouths of Babes

Out of the Mouths of Babes...

When I get to the part
where you die...


I am going to run
down to my room


jump up on the bed
and wait






Told to me
with a solemn expression
but one indicating some relief
in having worked through
one of life's more intricate mysteries...


and said
whilst demonstrating
a spread eagled pose...







I hope that when
I get to this part in my life
I will have the energy
to do the same...




Oh Happy days
