giddy on church steps
unaware and innocent
of crumble building
eager to play grown-up games
as if that's all that mattered

Lee - I so wish that I could write as you do, with such ease. My thoughts get all jumbled up after just a few lines I am afraid. Many thanks & Hugs !!!

(smiles) Yay! Oh Chris, you depict slices of life ever so wonderfully in so few words, sweet friend, I could truly see a vibrant picture reading this that stuck out like a painting on a wall, yay, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Chris, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
