Hey, Mom, he saysWanna hear my heart beep?
Nothing more in the world.
My head on his chest.
boom boom, boom boom.
His quick, healthy life.
Then, can I hear your heart beep?
His little ear
Pressed to my chest
Listening for the first time
in amazement that makes him giggle
boom-boom, boom-boom
The same sound in all of us -
Human beings
Mother and child.
The sound of Life.
boom-boom, boom-boom.
Our hearts beeping, mine and his.

So you don't post for a couple days. Then you come up with something cute like this. Good job, Leanne. Love it.
I love how kids say "heart beep".
very touching
this is worth enduring lincoln logs.
I beep you
Thanks, Mindi. I was totally second-guessing myself with a POEM. I'm not really a poet. It's just the way this story came to me to be told. :)
Jenny - indeed.
Great post!
That is so touching and wonderfully written! Awesome work!
What? You wrote it??? I love it! I totally thought you stole it! Awesome- go put it on K-chat! Plus, I love that I got to see Matty make a heart with his hands yesterday. :)
so, so, so precious! Thank you for sharing!
Publish it:)
I love it, Leanne, seriously love it. It is very touching and makes me want to smile, cry and hug my kids.
Leann, I guess "your a poet and you don't know it". I was looking for the name of the author. It is THAT good!!
You WROTE it? I wondered, but didn't ask. It's great. I love it.
You are all so sweet! I'd say I wrote it, but it was composed in my head one night before I wrote it down. So I created it, I guess. I'm trying to redefine my creativity. :)
Amy - I did publish it. Here. ;)
Beautifully written
