HI LEO!
HERE IS ONE GUY HUGGING ANOTHER GUY. WHAT KIND OF ANIMALS ARE THEY?fippolola2006-11-15T14:31:10.698-08:00HERE'S A POEM FOR YOU, LEODADDY OR MOMMY CAN READ IT TO YOU. IT'S IN A BIG BOOK I GOT YESTERDAY:
(First, a note to your fatheh:
Mafs, I think this poem is one of the good ones in this really good (huge!) book I got yesterday. Leo can understand little parts of it if you show them to him, but that's not important. (You can show him the stars in the water when you go to the sea and the sun sparkles in it) What's important is that you read it to him over and over and he hears the rhythm and gets to know it. I'll send you an email with the introduction to this book that convinced me you're right to want to read poetry to Leo. I wish I'd done it for you and Danny when you were little. But no one did it for me, so I didn't know how good it was until now.)
(Maybe I should illustrate it with little drawings?)
LEISURE
William H. Davies
What is this life if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare?
No time to stand beneath the boughs
And stare as long as sheep or cows,
No time to see, when woods we pass
Where squirrels hide their nuts in grass,
No time to see, in broad daylight,
Streams full of stars, like skies at night.
No time to turn at Beauty's glance,
And watch her feet, how they can dance,
No time to wait till her mouth can
Enrich that smile her eyes began.
A poor life this if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare.fippolola2006-11-15T13:24:47.961-08:00I'LL TRY TO MAKE THEM BIGGERUM, LET'S SEE NOW.....
IT SAYS THIS IS AS LARGE AS IT GETS. DRAT!
