AND
16 February 2001

And I love you,
little word,
for your brevity
and your Biblical cadence
and your graceful shape
and the roundness of your letters
and your meaning
and the continuity you imply
and the hope you promise
when all is lost.

Thank you for your reply, Dixie.  I hear you, but the magic is "been" is the past tense.  We got out of "there" and we can again and so can everyone else!  

Thank you Nourzihane.  I appreciate your kind response.
