Array ( [sid] => 13946 [catid] => 1 [aid] => Mick [title] => Emeric [time] => 2003-03-08 18:00:00 [hometext] => I met this gorgeous little child last week. His name is Emeric and the offspring of some good friends. He brings happiness in his wake :))) wherever he goes. Have you ever found something so precious and new and felt completely at home...? He made me feel like myself, something that I haven't felt in a long long time. [bodytext] => First time I saw him, he
Captured my heart.
Weaving his spell all over me.
Brown eyes with a tinge of green...
That shone with intelligence.
Quite a feat for one so young.
He's new to the world.
Six months ain't a long enough time.

Emeric...gorgeous little bundle of joy who
Smiled all the time...
At my goofiness, at all the feeble attempts
I made to entertain him.
He appreciated all the wonders around him
Unquestioningly.
Laughed at my ape-like jumping *grins*
He laughed...
That precious sound twisting it's way into my heart and taking up residence.

That content gurgling he made when we
Watched TV or looked at the trees outside.
When I sang to him...
Showering me with hugs and love.
He brought me new hope.
Smashed all the barriers I had put up.
There IS some good in this world after all :))

I remember the fascination and tenderness in his expression...
When I fed him.
He'd touch my face...playing, waiting for reactions,
That curious nature of his.
Sooooo sweet...
I miss his mischievous grins!

I would do anything to keep him safe.
Climb mountains, brave the sea...
I'd gladly sacrifice everything I have to make him happy :)
I have this insatiable need to protect him...his obvious innocence from the big bad world...
They'd eat him up out there.


But sometimes...lessons are meant to be learnt.
Its the way of the world...
Destiny.
No matter how painful...
I'll always be here for him,
No matter what.
Of course, you'll never want or need anything.
You have such wonderful parents.
Welcoming, comforting, funny and
Overfilling with love.
A child couldn't ask for more :))

Sadness washed over me when your'll left.
It was like someone took away my life force,
My soul felt heavier...
Something vital had gone.
Guess I got too attached in that short period of time.
I still get your baby soft scent.
I'd usually shrug that off as one of those strange occurances...
But I had a minute of de'ja vu yesterday
When someone commented that I smelt like a newborn baby...
And immediately an image of you came to mind.
Your spell has stained me unknowingly.
Strange...that I still feel your presence,
I know with this curious certainty that
You're keeping well

Now I'm doing what I always do when i meet special people...kindred spirits who walk in and out of my life.
Who never bother to stay around longer.
I'm gonna stop this, turn and
Walk away.

Push out the emptiness and move on.
A new day comes...
We WILL meet again.

This is so beautiful and heartfelt. There's nothing like the smell of a new child to make your heart believe in hope and in unconditional love.
