Wonderfully Lost
By Larry Chadwick
For my lovely wife - Nancy Lee

Instantly overwhelmed by your caring,
Made to me feel like yours.
You know when it all began,
It was the day our paths crossed.

It started with those sparkling eyes,
Overshadowing the winning smile.
Occurring in a moment,
Lasting for a life time.

All of it beginning spontaneously,
Built on a beautiful foundation.
Grounds for being drawn in,
Opportunity for character to be revealed.

It is a confession I proudly declare,
I have always been lost in your love.

July 17, 2003

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.

This is beautiful, Larry.  Your love for your wife
is shining brightly in this piece.
Hugs,
~Vicky


it is better to be a part of beauty
for one instant and then cease to
exist than to exist forever
and never be a part of beauty

Thank you all I am dashing out for my road trip from Phoenix to Portland, Oregon. I'll check in and give personal responses on the other end. Woohoo!!!

It is love like that which you have for your wife that makes this world a much better place.

Lovely write, Larry. May your love endure forever.

That's the kind of "lost" to be :-)

Fool, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write.

It may be me! Thank you all. That ten foot trailer pushed my old truck 1430 miles pretty fast. But thank you for your kindnesses.

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.
