LOVE REVISITED

Revisiting.......reliving....
My little ones run up to me
unaware that I am many years ahead..aged....
their laughing like running streams..
giggling eyes, soft hair flying........

Then they stop...
look back at me, smiling with all knowing eyes...
They remember too.

They run off through the years....I look again
the waves have washed away their footprints.They look back
at me again and smile.....

Now their little ones giggle,
making sand castles,
filling buckets of ocean and years,
their little footprints running to and fro
to the sea,
to the caves and agates.

I look over the ocean......the sun warmed sand,
The Silver Box is still in the Lost Boy Cave.

Keep a quiet heart
walk in rest...be very still...listen,
wait for love to materialize before you.
Everything I have passed on to you in the years
of your life is there, it is your treasure
stored up in heaven.

Watch...look at the canvas of life
growing and changing. Every deposit of love
into your children continues to strengthen their roots.
Water them well; let them become as Oak Trees.
The sap will pass again to another generation.

Trust that when you
need to nurture them, all you need
will be there in your heart to pass on yet again
as it has passed to you.....
