| Posted by Bruce W Niedt on 10/02/08 at 06:27 PM Another "classic" from the Sorrenti archives - I love the metrical rhythm in this, the loose rhyme, and the whimsical look at our mortal experience - excellent.... d:-) |
| Posted by Gregory O'Neill on 10/02/08 at 06:33 PM Really musical Chris! Feels to me, written as if one where speaking or singing it to the baby. This a treasure. Fav+. Thank you! |
| Posted by Melissa Panther on 10/02/08 at 07:09 PM The musicality in this is unmistakable...lovely every line. |
| Posted by Katerina T Nix on 10/03/08 at 12:17 AM A real spiritual lesson here, Chris - and from the year of my own birth no less. Wonderful read and thanks for sharing this one :) -Kat |

| Posted by Kristina Woodhill on 10/09/08 at 11:27 PM I had not seen this earlier. What a pleasure to read, and I really like the conclusion. |

| Posted by Glenn Currier on 10/16/08 at 04:28 PM Chris, the title is much more pregnant than I imagined as I began to read. I can't tell you the number of daddy images this evoked. Then you pull us beyond the living room all the way through the life cycle. Clever and profound. |
| Posted by Joan Serratelli on 03/10/09 at 01:38 PM I love this! It goes through all of a baby's life stages....until they eventually "fly aaway" and make a life of their own. Loved the images. It made me think of my own children. Great read and incredible write! |
