    the beginning

     Have you ever been alone ,

    Not knowing another way

    The sky is filled with lifeless clouds

    On a snowy winter day

    There is no one to teach you how,

    To laugh or run or play,

    For you are just a child

    in a crib inside your room

    The only place you really know

    Outside your mothers womb

    I guess I really want to say,

    Its not so bad alone all day

    deni, I thnk this is your best. the marriage of theme, structure, meter that speaks volumes of that short period in life that is for most never revisited, until we see a babe in this comfort. what a great write on something seldom given thought to. Thank you for sharing

    my crib was the only thing I knew until I could climb out of it.Then it was my hichair and if i wasn't pottytrained by then it was sad but I will write about my hurts and my teachings.....Most of my words come from a life outside looking in wanting to be where I could see I thank you for seeing the recesses of my early state of awareness I am Honored truly
