"If you don't like to make them, what's the reason you do it?" she went on. "I thought grown-up people could...

How often is it that we take the time to stop and listen to what our children have to say or are trying to tell us in their actions and behaviour?
These poems came about as result of time I spent with my son, playing with him, imagining with him, talking to him, and listening to him.
