All The Way From Arkansas

I knew him many years ago
but I loved another man,
way back then, I couldn't know
he'd show up again within God's plan.

There were such hard times to endure
before we could join as one,
some of those times are just a blur,
some of them are not yet done.

Sometimes I cry, I won't let go
of this beautiful love we'll soon create,
though it may not be till one more snow,
I know he's strong enough to wait.

Be it fire or rain, I'll stay-
though it should be against the law
how this man came, stole my heart away
all the way from Arkansas.

I'll tell you honestly Dixie,

I have no understanding
of how such a woman of such genius
never the less . . .

And I mean this
sincerely:

Calm Seas
Fair Winds

Yo dear Passing shadows,

It's great to see you around again Hon.  The Philadelphia gang, Butch, Wawa, Muck, Marika, Felix, and of course, young Bones and Griselda, and I all say hello.

Love Bobby

Dixie I love it!

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

You've had far too many hard times, my friend, and I pray your path be smoother... but such a love can make whatever comes easier, whatever wait worthwhile. *S*

Dixie!  You got there!  To Arkansas!  One of my prayers for you came true!  Now there is the 10th to get through, but that is going to be so much easier for you now.  

I will be praying for you, every step of the way.  Keep strong, and do what you know is right, no matter how hard it is to do.

Love and hugs
