Moments that leave an imprint on your soul - 8

They say that you are given the children your soul needs in order to grow and become a better human being.  I know exactly why I was granted the privilege of nurturing those two wonderful and gentle souls.  And I am grateful for it.  Every second of every day...

You evoke the best in me

you, my little men to be.

I understood the true meaning of kindness

since my soul you possess...

In my bones

In my bones

( a song by Blue Rodeo)

You make me want to laugh

You make me want to cry

Make me wake up late at night and wonder why

You wash over me like waves over stones

You’re in my bones

You make me want to get up

And be a better man

Make me want to weigh myself against my plans

You were born to me like kings to their thrones

You’re in my bones

You can be what you want to be

I don’t mind

If there’s a season for all things

I hope that’s what we’ll find

But when it’s time for you to go

Don’t you worry

Don’t look behind

Every time you walk out

You take a part of me

A part I hide so deep inside so no one sees

The beauty that nobody owns

You’re in my bones

You walk with me wherever I’m going

You’re in my bones

He has this old soul, one that sometimes seems to carry the weight of the world...
Sometimes it's just too much for his little heart and mind...
Somedays it reveals it's wonders through amazing insights no one else could get...
It's always been this way, he understands lots of things and is instantly touched by someone's pain. He has a compassionate soul, wide as the world...

Moments that leave an imprint on your soul - VI

Little boys running free

if only for a weekend.

Far and away from life's every duty

going about every part of this land...

Getting in touch with themselves

and the beauty that surrounds them.

Running and playing until night

laying in bed exhausted with happy dreams in sight...

♥♥♥♥

Moments that leave an imprint on your soul - V

Your inner joy spreads across the place,

showering on everyone like a delicate glitter.

Soon it shows on every face,

the subtle magic of your laughter...

Both these photos were processed with Pionner Woman actions, a combo of Boost, and Seventies actions. Thanks to Samantha for the inspiration! I am thinking about slowly deleting the posts where my sons are the main subjects. Just so, not so many pictures remain available on the web. I saved every post, writings and wonderful comments in a scrapbook. Because I want to keep them. So the earlier posts may be gone in a near future. I will continue the serie though, but will delete them after a while. I hope you understand, maybe one day client sessions will add to the postings on this blog! So, that'll give my worried heart a rest...

Moments that leave an imprint on your soul...-II

In b&w...

And he walks by

Full of his 5 years old self-confidence

Each little step taking him farther

I'm so proud to see him grow

But I already miss him so...

I love you my sweet baby...

with a soft flare...

Moments that leave an imprint on your soul...

in b&w

He was totally unaware, of the golden light in his hair,

of the smile on my face,

and the tears in my eyes...

My precious boy, I love you...

in golden light and massive flare...
