I Surrender
~Marge Tindal~

You've captured
my heart
~
I surrender
~
You've found
the spirit in me
~
I surrender
~
You hold me
captive
with your charm
~
I surrender
~
My soul
my all
I
surrender
~
Just when I think
I'm in this
alone
you
surrender

~
Not to be confused
with giving up
just
~
yielding

Great way to put it Marge!

Where there is faith,
there is love.
Where there is love,
there is peace.
Where there is peace,
there is GOD.
Where there is GOD,
there is no need.

That's just what it takes to make it work! Very well said, Marge!

Surrendering can certainly be a blissful thing, especially when the one you love too surrenders to that love.  Exellently done.

Like a gust of wind, ne'er trapped in a snare,
Like a lotus blossom, ne'er sprinkled by water,

It's late and sleep has fogged my sight
I saw through clouds a "Marge" special light
So say so much in a few lines
Reading yours brings always such devines
So now that you woke me up once more
I will be tired tomorrow..thats for sure  
Thanks Marge.
Sleep well and sweet dreams  

 The ability to describe life with words is similar to painting a picture; both can be powerful tools.

Astraea-
I'm glad you like it.

WhiteDove-
It does work well, doesn't it?

Denise-
A little give ... a little take.

Alwye-
You've got that right. Thanks.

Helmut Becker-
Ahhhh, we BOTH will want to avoid
the ringing of the alarm, eh?  
Thank you for your read.
GOOD MORNING  

Rus-
My thanks to you for your comments.
One is never alone when in the company
of friends.

Elizabeth, my friend-
Thank you for your expectations,
and for letting me know that it
didn't disappoint.
You're either up VERY EARLY ...
or VERY LATE !

Marge~
Very peaceful piece.  It subtly leaves a smile.  Can't help but think of the song, "I surrender all".  Very nice thought.

Nate-
Thanks ...
I couldn't agree more on the eventuality of people coming together through a little give and take.

Sherry-
Thank you so much.
Yeah, I know that one too.
Don't have to surrender ALL ....
but close to it !

Hoot-
Thanks ...
I can see why you would like it, hon.
Ruth, I just want to say that I greatly admire your writing talent ... you're quite super.  And the inspiration you give to others is a blessing.
Muchly appreciate your friendship.

Yielding all that you are in this one Marge.  No better gift than you doing this could you give another.  Well done

 Drive it like you stole it...LOL And another thing...When I rev my engine I want people to think the world is coming to a end....hehehe
