qualcosa di bello said...: the second made me feel a longing for when my children were of this age...your words are just perfect!; 9:11 AM
Sandy said...: Krissie, I'm so glad you liked my haiku.

Qualcosa di bello, that is exactly what I was thinking of when I wrote this haiku. When my youngest son was very young [he's now 26] he loved to bring me rocks which I treasured...I have one of his treasured stones by my computer. Now you know why it was so easy for me to write that haiku.

I'm so glad it brought you the same warm feelings it does me.; 11:22 AM
Tumblewords: said...: Ah, how nice! So many rocks perfectly fit a child's hand!; 8:27 PM
Jodi Peary said...: Well done. I really enjoyed "small hand wrapped"; it reminded me of the flowers picked just under the head or with little stem that my littlest one brings home. Whenever she finds granite she calls it "a crystal" and treats it like gold!

Sandy said...: So very true, Tumblewords...it's so wonderful to see those little hands bringing you a treasure.

Thank you so much, Jodi for sharing that story...it gave me the warmest feeling as though I can see your little one doing that...how precious children are.
