Oh wow. You're right Michael. I love it too.
Do you by chance ever listen to Harry Chapin music? He was a song writer, but his songs had meaning. There were quite a few about children.
I lost my Dad 3yrs ago and each time in the poem when the little boy looked up, I could see my dad's face. He always had this glimmer in his eyes when I looked at him. It was like he was looking at something special. I think we're lucky if we have someone who looks at us this way. The part about the winning is the getting back up again is truly the way to live. I remember doing it. My vitality has escaped me for some time now though. I just happened to crawl out of bed long enough to post here I feel like I can't or don't want to get out of bed; or get back up, like the little boy. So, it is pretty uncanny you shared this w/ me today, a day when I really needed to hear it.
