You have caught the purity of a child before they are messed up with imposed language!

Gentle little epigram. I agree with Ez, it certainly could have been written by Spike. The sky is full of holes to let the rain in but the holes are very small that's why rain is thin. Clever lad. I love it. Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
