adorn me not with diamonds
there are bills to be paid
and trips to be made
and paychecks already stretched thin

just give me the glow of your loving
and hold on to my hand
proud to be my man
the sparkle in your eyes is all I need

Belle, may a loving man with sparkling eyes to rival the Light in your own, soon find his way to your hearth and home. ~ and he will be one heckuvva fortunate man!

There be no greater riches than those found in a loving relationship.

Love to you, dear friend!

So true, suthern gal...material things pale by comparison to true feeling, which are priceless.
