My WishAnother day's end, beginning as any other, but with a few fallen words the world is changed and we are changed within it. Defenseless, perhaps, to the movement, the motive, the motion. Would only that I could draw you to me and let the words begin anew.  Claire |

Nice sentiments, Claire.... Felt really nice. Regards, sudhir In any moment of decision, The best thing you can do is the right thing, The next-best thing is the wrong thing, And the worst thing you can do is nothing. - Theodore Roosevelt |

Claire, What a great poem. Really hits home with me. Amazing how a few words can change everything, isn't it? I too wish the words could begin anew.......excellent line.

There have been many times in my life that I have wished this. Now, because of experience, I have learned how to choose my words carefully so not to regret them afterwards. Excellent poem Claire. When you are old and grey and full of sleep, And nodding by the fire, take down this book, And slowly read, and dream of the soft look Your eyes had once, and of their shodows deep; How many loved your moments of glad grace, And loved your beauty with love false or true, But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you, And loved the sorrows of your changing face... William Butler Yeats |

A few words can indeed change a life..I know that well. Moving, deep, and wonderful words, as always Claire. *Krista Knutson* "Lonliness is the human condition." *Mark Twain, in the book "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn"* |

Sudhir Martie Marge Jeffrey Denise Janet Marie Lone Wolf Love Bug Marilyn Krista Sven Sue Thank you all, in earnest, for reading...and for letting me know that there was something in this writing that touched you. Also.... Please forgive me for not replying individually, but I haven't the luxury of time tonight to do so. Oh how I wish I could just sit at my armoire for hours and read and respond to all the poetry you folks share here! What wonder and enjoyment that would afford me! I am hoping to work my way back here later in the weekend, and will try to read as much as possible. Many hugs to each of ((((you)))) tonight, everyone... and thanks again... ~ Claire Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other's eyes for an instant?......Henry David Thoreau |

Oh Claire..! I'm not going to let this one get by RJ, her sweet AT&T line isn't feeling so good today so I'm going to have to just keep you up there till she's back on the air. You cought my heart on this one baby... Always, dale & rosemary If I could paint a portrait, of this life in which I've led, and somehow sketch a story, of the visions in my head, I'd start out with a canvas, stretched tightly in a frame, and in the bottom corner, I'd leave room to sign my name. (Michelle A. Bartley) |
