-- About two weeks ago I sat down after reading my sisters blog, for my nephew, and I tried writing something for him. My fingertips went to work hitting keys forming words but nothing I came up with was much more than that, words. I gave up only to come back again and begin with the same line I had once started with “Close your eyes little prince”, maybe its that line that is holding me back from writing something truly beautiful because this writing once again will go without truly being started. But I’ll post it just the same, half written and longing to be finished.
“Close your eyes little prince.
Drift away into a world of dragons and queens;
fairies and talking flowers.
Let the softness of your pillow become the clouds beneath your head.
Close your eyes little prince,
regain your cotton thrown of red and gold.”
