| My children (ages 2, 6 mos and 4) Christmas 2003 |
It's in the eyes of children everywhere
the ecstasy a rainbow to their soul
filled with awe and wonder on this eve
when miracles give birth to hearts of gold.

Thanks to all of you for the gift of joy you've given me this year. I hope you have a golden weekend full of miracles and ecstasy!

A lovely piece Laurie.
My wife often tells me I'm just a big kid - probably why I enjoy Christmas so much!
Beautiful sentiment expressed, Laurie. (And cute kids!) I will think about the prompt during the day.
Moments like this is so easy to find in ordinary days... some people don't know how to look but you sure captured it...
Miracles give birth to hearts of gold... what a lovely way to express what I know to be true.
Now those are priceless gifts under your Christmas tree!
nice...great pic...i love kids...they still have that awe and wonder....
Oh such beautiful little sojourners under your tree! Those ages are when Christmas is the BEST for parents because the magic happens!!!!! I remember. I love your poem.
They look so cute ~
I adore these ages when its Christmas time.. indeed they have the hearts of gold.
Happy Holidays to you and your family ~
There is nothing like children to bring out the true essence of old-time Christmas...the wonder and joy and simple things. Thank-you for sharing this beautiful poem and photo!
Merry Christmas!
Happy Holidays! Love this poem :) My two boys are 7 years and 4 years old and they can't wait till Christmas!
Laurie,
I loved it, short and so full of meaning! My favorite line is:
"miracles give birth to hearts of gold"
Thank you for sharing your prompt and joy! I was working on another post, but think I can tie them into a joyful bow, I hope! :D
Happy Holidays to you n' yours~
Nothing shows us the wonderment of possibility more than the eyes of a child on Christmas morning. Nice one.
Thank you all. My kids have grown a bit since then, but Christmas still remains... for them!
Oh, they were adorable, and I'm sure they still are, especially at this time of year. Lucky you.
Your poem is perfect: awe, wonder, rainbows, gold! I love it.

The best gifts already belong to us. Have a Merry Christmas, Laurie!
Awww . . . this is beautiful! Have a Merry Christmas!
It's for the kids, bless them. Merry Christmas, fellow Toad. :-)
OMG! The kids are adorable. Have a wonderful Christmas!
I'm afraid I can't say it any better than those who've commented before me but did want to chime in with my two cents and say how much I enjoyed this gem ... the kids are of course adorable and you've captured the essence of Christmas with your poem - have a great one Laurie - as always it's been a pleasure sharing some of the same poetry sites with you.
You are blessed. Merry Christmas!
Your children are as lovely as your tribute to them, and to all children. Thank you.
beautiful sentiments ... :)
