I, too, awakened in the middle of the night with this beautiful, old poem running through my mind. I memorized it as a child--40-plus years ago, and it has always been precious to me, because of its tender subject, of course, but also because it makes me think of my mother, who was the first to read it to me. And now, tonight, it comes back to me with even greater tenderness because my own "Little Boy Blue, " my precious son, passed away two months ago today, and in these gentle words, penned a century ago, my mother, my son and I come together tonight.
