'tis a place where love can grow
in simplicity and strength
where souls are surely all aglow
and commitment is measured by its length

'tis a place where hearts grow strong
in existing for each the other
where life is shared in hope and song
and needs find rest in one another

'tis a place where faith awakens
in promises both made and kept
where dreams are simply not forsaken
and fears are put to rest

'tis a place you say does not exist
I know from experience, you insist

well, I will only speak of where I've been
and look to go there once again

I know of this place you speak of, though I don't visit it as often as I should.  And when I do, I feel so much better!!   Enjoyed!

The only time we waste is the time we spend thinking we are alone.

I like the idea of a secret heart, two loves tucked safely and warmly inside, Steaven!

We should all have a place such as this to escape to when we so desire and for me, I think season tickets for that journey would work best.  Very much enjoyed.

Oh!  I hope to always live in such a place as this, and not just visit.

A lovely write you have penned here.

Enjoyed!
