Onyx eyes, black beads,
glisten with wishes,
please take the gift,
toss gently, I’ll retrieve.
It’s only time between us;
you are almost all I’ve known of love,
though you may grieve
for what has been before;
I am now, and while I’m still small,
you’re all I want and need.
With time between us,
your love for me will grow.
Shawn L. Bird 
lovely!
Thank you very much!
Well, I hope you’re happy. You made me cry . . . again.
:-S
Infant, puppy, kitten- You’re all the little one needs.

(but they are soooooo much work while you wait for them to turn into the companion you want them to be!)
