Madeline
If you were here, little stars-in-my-sky, I’d read to you tonight, Maddy’s special storybook, Madeline. We would snuggle together, and I’d begin: In an old house in Paris that was covered with vines lived twelve little girls in two straight … Continue reading

I went for a walk in the flower garden in the park this evening, little stars-in-my-sky, and I wished on the evening star that you could be with me, while the moon made a sideways smile high above. The sun … Continue reading
