Tall Trees, Long Walks, Small Hands


I saw this photo....and was flooded with memories...Walking with my son for hours...his small hand holding on,sometimes letting go to explore...but always near...under the cool of the trees....consider it kind of a late Fathers Day post...

Evergreen Cathedrals
*********************
Mystical and magical....
Breezes that whisper...
Small Childrens Names...
Carrying Distant Secrets....
and Childish Dreams....
Birds Calling like lost lovers...
Branches stretching swaying....
with the weight of rainladen leaves....
Afternoons stand still...
Timeless and Precious....
Mystical and magical.

Simply Red sings " Holding Back The Years " live...beautiful song...
used to sing it to my son as a baby...
and now he is almost grown....
I wish sometimes we could hold back the years....
they grow up so fast.....too fast.
