Boys Quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson

“My son, a perfect little boy of five years and three months, had ended his earthly life. You can never sympathize with me; you can never know how much of me such a young child can take away. A few weeks ago I accounted myself a very rich man, and now the poorest of all.” quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson — Download Open image
