| Posted by Gabriel Ricard on 11/16/08 at 04:02 AM I'm pretty damn floored, you should know. |
| Posted by Steven Kenworthy on 11/16/08 at 06:16 AM ok...this is touching. this is beautiful...and not because of the quote, but because of the fact that it touches on fresh new life. finding what matters most and breathing in and out through it. i'm sure this child will be a blessing on your family and you will find that he will shine a fine spark in you that was once dormant before. pretty pretty. |

| Posted by Kristina Woodhill on 11/16/08 at 05:12 PM Love the photo! Brilliant phrasing in this, nice reference to the Kenworthy guy ;), and grandmotherly on a special level. |
| Posted by Maria Massarella on 11/16/08 at 05:52 PM Yes! Beautiful on all levels! How could it not be so when wonder-words speak of the birth of an Angel ... and we all cry along. Lovely ... |

| Posted by Tony Whitaker on 11/17/08 at 03:24 AM I love this Paige. I am a pushover for poems about babies and children. This is so pure in your joy for the creation of a new life that would not be if not for you and your sun (son). That's why I like to read your work, I am almost always moved by your the way you bare yourself for all, and especially for us Patheticites, to enjoy. Congratulations and God Bless the little children of the world. |

| Posted by Philip F De Pinto on 06/06/10 at 12:31 PM I will try to gather tears which are never far away so as to cry along with the all and having thus gathered tears and added them to the communal tear pot, we will all cry in concert and wont that sound wonderful? what you have birthed here Paige is a lovely poem. |
