Life,  lingering upon the budded branch,  swaying softly in a dew covered
Breeze….hanging by a single solitary thread as a hesitant breath
Brings home the whispered words of “I Care”.  

And,  it is known,  felt,  sensed,  tasted upon the tip of a rose colored
Tongue…that indeed one does care…and the silence of a whisper,
Falling quietly,  falling slowly into the shimmering seas.. Does
Awaken the heart as one grieves and prays,  wishes that one day a
Tender soul will again be met …  that a hand might reach out and
Grasp another who will ever,  forever be loved…

Dedicated...with humility and single wish of
hopefulness...

Barry,

   I really like this, and especially, how you chose to place the emphasis on your words and pauses by ending each line as you did.  Beautiful writing filled with budding hope.

a gesture of kindness is only as simple as its action ...

appreciation of beauty and such heart deserves recognition in kind


a rose for a rose ....


good to read you again!

Even in silence, that heart to heart encourages as much as it embraces the sound of "I care".

Brought a smile...so many
