Sons

by Gilda December 29, 2010

Sit here on my lap Magellan just a little while, Let me kiss your cheeks Magellan just a little while, Before you trek around the world I know it’s worth our while. Can I hold you close Cousteau? Let us have a staring contest, Before you splash into the deep to find the secrets God [...]
