Thank you. This is a mere introduction to the sonnet which follows; however I do, at times, put some thought into these. Usually, they are dashed off in a few seconds. This one, I recall, I pondered for a time.
Every second can be a magical lifetime when seconds are learned in childhood.
Too many people forget what they learned in childhood. It gets written over by later data because they don’t know to partition off a special place for it. It is actually a treasure that should be kept for reference. How else will one know what a second is worth, or what a room looks like upside down, or what sunbeams look like on a plastered wall? Or what a second could mean…
Perhaps so. I feel and remember as most recent, my childhood. Strong memories do I have of it. More vivid perhaps than that of any but those around the first moments I knew I loved you.
Deep and good!

Lovely.

It rings more true and perhaps thoughtful than some of my brief introductions; for I have thought about such things for as long as I have known you.
