    Ah the power of love. In three lines you manage to capture the pure essence of the love between mother and child; though enough books to fill the planet could be written about it you've said it all here in a nutshell.

    Love & peace

    So sweet!

    Wow! What a beautiful and sweet feeling you have summed up here in 3 lines. This made me ooh and aah in delight. The repetition of the 'c' sound in L1 was lovely.

    I dont have kids, but oh well, when they do come, it's going to be the best day of my life
    Hugs,

    Its a wonderful feeling and so fun to watch your child fingerpaint. I let my daughter paint with water colors earlier, the first time she has ever done that. Her artwork is hanging on my fridge, splashes of mixed paint hasnever looked so beautiful!

    *Sigh* Beautiful picture, and of cours the poem was right on point. It's too bad that more parents don't spend time with their children like this. I have to ask, please tell me, were you inspired to write the poem by the picture, or did you find or create the picture after you wrote the poem? Just curious....
