That's for sure. Good Senryu

Thanks, Mark!

[Pryde Foltz]

Absolutely. Those moments of innocence seem so far away sometimes. Lovely write.

[Rita L. Sev]

Thanks, Pryde.

I love looking at old photos, Rita. I'm trying to guess which one is you. Is it the one on the right? All of you were so cute and so innocent. A really nice poem and picture. Something to frame and keep on your mantel piece for your grandchildren to see someday.

[Rita L. Sev]

Thank you, Joyce - Yes, I am on the right. My brother is reading to us, and I think it's Christmas Eve... a very long time ago...

Well done, the innocence of ignorance, or perhaps I should say the innocence of inexperience in order to avoid possible confusion. Truth distilled and preesented with love.

[Rita L. Sev]

The bliss of inexperience - so thankful my parents gave us that... Thanks, Steve!

[Great Aunt Astri]

AH musette! These twenty two syllables are like a little tune.

[Rita L. Sev]

:) Thank you, GAA!

[Marie]

I have many of these faded photographs of myself and my family...what we didn't know couldn't hurt us...

[Rita L. Sev]

Yep. It's nice to recall those days...

[TL Boehm]

how true. I look at pictures and remember exactly what I was doing at the time and how truly oblivious I was.

[Rita L. Sev]

Ah, sweet oblivion... This one takes me back to Christmas Eve - I think my brother is reading "A Visit from St. Nicholas". Why didn't I realize how precious that moment was? Thank you, Tammy...

[Sanober]

So true...and so perfectly captured! The innocence...the freedom...the simplicity of that time was something else altogether. This touched me. Beautiful work!

[Rita L. Sev]

Thank you, Sanober. A free and innocent time it was...

[Tom]

[Rita L. Sev]

Thank you so much, Tom!

[Anand Sehgal]

So true. and It was so beautiful :) It is so difficult to remain simple it seems !

[Rita L. Sev]

Life interferes with simplicity... Thank you, Anand.
