I am reading Christina's Sing-Song to my little kids in the morning during breakfast. They are short and sweet, and sometimes quite sad. Now I want to read more of her poetry! God bless you, Denise.

Once again, Denise, you touched my heart with your words. I have always appreicated Christina Rosetti's poety, but your words made her personal. Your words touched me today about taking care of our children, the poets, the writers, the artists. I remember my young ones bringing their poems and writings to me. Now, my artist. There is a tenderness to them that must be lightly handled. As they grow, the world they encounter I am no longer a part of, your words helped today, "It is why families need to cultivate their own all important, particular, inner fires where each child can come to warm themselves after a time spend in the colder world." To have a home they wish to return to to get warm, is a gift.
