So, I was cleaning out a closet today and I came across this SEEMINGLY innocuous little slice of my past. At first, it LOOKS like a perfectly harmless little arts and crafts project my kindergarten teachers made the class do their parents. But, looks can be deceiving. Looking at this, I saw myself at age 5... Bright eyed, hopeful, and completely ignorant of the wrecking balls that life eventually will smash me in the face with. I know... I know... Thats something that ANYONE could say about a old picture of themselves, so before anyone mentions that... Just effin shut it. :) Anyhoo... Im looking over this thing like aww, my hand was so tiny... and all... But THEN... I actually read the little message, thats when shit started getting weird... And creepy... And morbid... And strangely threatening... Keep in mind that this was some sort of gift FROM my kindergarten teachers TO MY PARENTS! It reads: To All Parents Ill lend you, for a little while, a child of mine, He said, For you to love while he lives, and mourn when he is dead. It may be six or seven years, or twenty-two, or three, But will you, till I call him back, take care of him for me? Hell bring his charms to gladdened you, and shall his stay be brief, Youll have his lovely memories as solace for your grief. I cannot promise he will stay, as all from earth return, But there are lessons taught down there I want this child to learn. Ive looked the wide world over in my search for teachers true, And from the throngs that crowds lifes lanes, I have selected you. Now will you give him all your love-- not think the labor vain, Nor hate me when I come to call to take him back again. I fancied that I heard them say, Dear Lord, by will be done For all the joy this child shall bring, the risk of grief well run. Well will shower him with tenderness, and love him while we may And for the happiness weve known, forever grateful stay. And should the angel call for him, much sooner than we planned Well brave the bitter grief that comes and try to understand. Author Unknown *ahem* DAAAAAA FUUUUUUUUQ
