you another big hug x I got chills all over while reading this. It's hauntingly beautiful. Do you know the book "Love you Forever" by Robert Munsch? If not, you should check it out. I often sing part of the story to my boys as they fall asleep: "I'll love you forever/I'll like you for always/ As long as I'm living, my baby you'll be." This is the most beautiful poem I have ever read. I have always stayed with my child until he is asleep, even now. It's the most wonderful feeling in the world, just to watch them drift off to sleep in your arms. Thank you - I have posted this onto my blog, with a link back to your post here, as it is too beautiful not to share (I couldn't find a way of reblogging as I'm on wordpress) Hadn't really thought about that Jackie! Will look into the rights thing...my naive assumption is that you can't just take it from my blog without asking, but perhaps that is naive! Thanks for reading anyway x Well, even a tiny echo of W.S is a great compliment, thank you! I was reading his sonnets again the other day and couldn't quite believe how many he wrote and how totally incredible they all are! When you try and write one yourself, you appreciate even more what a genius he was. Thanks Daisy x This is so beautifully written, and def my nightly routine... although with 2 kids
