I think he is fine
I think he is loved
and every now and then
it happens again and again
I see him as a friend

I like secrets - this is a nice one - I won't tell.

this is a lovely secret.
thankyou for sharing.

I'm very sorry to hear that Canadians still feel the need to keep these sorts of things secret.

Jack, let all those amorous feelings run free beneath the lunar sway.

Are you seeing feelings that I am not aware of ? Do you feel them? Did I leave an impression anywhere that I was saying anything about feelings? If I had to decide things based on my feelings they would have locked me away a long time ago.

I will leave feelings in the hands of those who know how to handle them.

Jack,

I think that the words of the poem are right. I've got a very high accuracy
record on these kinds of things. (Let's keep that a secret.)

Jack, the first two lines ~ "I think" ... "I think"
me thinks that you thinks too much.

Too much doubt Jack, too much doubt, and if in doubt do nowt.
Is he a friend?
I doubt it.

I thought someone would say that.
There have been joys.
I got to spend a lot of time with my son when he was small. I never much tried to teach him anything, but we did a lot of exploring and playing together. Parks were one such place.
We sat on swings and if he asked me to push him I would push him. I never tried to teach him to swing himself.
One day I noticed that he had his swing going higher and higher and when it ended I asked "Hey who taught you that?" He pointed to his head and said "I figured it out" That was a joyful moment for me.
Likewise I never tried to teach him to swim but at least three times a week we were in pools together. I watched from over to the side one day when he was about 3 feet from the edge of the pool, he was 3 at the time, and he was on a floating device and he would look over to the edge, look over to some of the older kids, back and forth a bit and then he went for it and he was very happy that he found out he could swim.
I don't mind that you say that I think too much and that you have doubts about me but when you are in the company of children try not to do anything to interfere in their learning to think for themselves and gaining confidence to be able to think before acting.

as a poem this is junk, just full of filler blancmange - how can it be "every now and then" and also "again and again", you are writing words just to make simple (poor) rhymes. my english teacher once told me to strike out words form poems to see if they are necessary. so here is what's left of your poem

"I think"

but it's really nice to see you being kind to someone for a change. if you looked on anunitu as your son then you would have been gentler and more thoughtful instead of driving him off the forum.

Harry you seem to have such good questions which you satisfy with such poor answers.
