LITTLE GIRL IN LOVE

by

I love my brother

I love my sister

I love my mummy

I love my daddy

I love my dog

and I love my cat.

 

I love my granny and granddad

but they've gone on ahead

that's what mummy and daddy reckon

so I have to love them even more

 

'cause granny and granddad are dead.

love and time passing

A whole in one David. Plus the "correctness" of pointing out the acceptability of death to a child when she already knows the basics perhaps- Who knows? or as I've said before "who cares?" We'll see if anybody else picks up the scent . I have my doubts, but I'm as cynical as I am imaginative.

yours til the brain implodes.
