He loves to hold wars. He is careful to make bold statements of his victory and battle plan. When sword or cape fall off he is quick to come and ask for help to "fix it." The best part is how intently he plays at this game. He is a fierce warrior with cape and sword and shield; not a small boy in a firefighter costume playing with plastic men at the kitchen table. (I love this son of mine.)
"When I can no more stir my soul to move,
And life is but the ashes of a fire;
When I can but remember that my heart once used to live and love, long and aspire-
Oh, be thou then the first, the one thou art;
Be thou the calling, before all answering love,
And in me wake hope, fear, boundless desire."
George MacDonald
