Max, you have with this brought back the days when she was younger, and those nights, Beautifuly! |

| Posted by Jean Mollett on 06/12/03 at 05:52 AM Hi Max,
It's lovely. A child scared of the storms, big thunder booms. Feels much safer in Mom & Dad's bed with them. |

| Posted by Alison McKenzie on 05/07/04 at 08:14 PM Awww, Max. It does bring to mind the days when my own little ones thought I was big and strong and able to protect them from all they feared. The imagery is lovely. |
| Posted by Bethany Lee on 06/15/04 at 04:27 PM reminds me of a lovely lullaby...brings out motherly feelings in me...or maybe that's just my state of mind at the moment...wonderful piece, Max |
| Posted by Philip F De Pinto on 07/28/04 at 01:46 PM this is a faithfully conceived poem, which was sleeping in your womb and now it opes its eyes, given birth and realizes with life's ruckus, that even it it wanted to crawl back and sleep in the wombs serenity, too late it cannot go back to blissfull rest, for the metallic thundering. |
| Posted by Mary Ellen Smith on 04/04/05 at 02:47 PM I missed this the first time around and so happy to have "caught" it now...such a soothing and loving poem. |
