Admin Post By sharing my poems here, I'm hoping more of you will share yours as well. We had some good stuff on the old forums. The roots of this poem came from a dream I had. : ) Convergent smile ~~~ I jumped back in time to when I was little, just starting school. There in the hallways, I saw Little Me about to enter class. Quickly, I darted to try and catch him so that I could tell him That the lifelong tidings he has to bear wouldn't be so bad. That the hearing aids would shrink over years into his ears. That even though some kids would be cruel, he'd bounce back. That when some said he wouldn't amount to much, he'd prove them all wrong. That the mountains he had to overcome would make life far more rewarding. And finally I wanted to tell Little Me that he was my true hero. Sadly I was too late, the door slammed and I was yanked back to now. Later that night, after my weary soul had fallen asleep Little Me came to me in a dream as real can be and climbed into my lap. Looking up at me with a gentle smile, he said: "Everything will be okay" The past fell away, future blurred, and the now became a forever smile. ~ Ray
