The Ugly Duckling, Part Two

Then one day they did marry,
and never did they part.
She loved him with her heart and soul,
  every ounce within her heart.
   Then as luck would have it
    fire burned him beyond compare,
    he drew deep within himself
    keeping hidden there.

    Her love for him was not deterred
    she stayed there by his side,
   and then he finally asked of her
    'How can you love me,
    when my face I now must hide?'

    Her hand then gently touched his face,
   as she said, 'My love can you not see?
    You'll never be an ugly duckling,
    for my swan you will ALWAYS be.'


On the wings of words our spirits fly, and our souls are free.

Gentle Spirit, a fitting conclusion and swan to swan they are able to soar.
Be well

Beauty begets beauty!
A fine finishing piece, G.S.  You turned the tables nicely.  Looking forward to more of your well written tales!

Oh some days I wish I had more time to answer you all one by one, but then it seems
I don't have time to read enough of your beautiful words.  Thank you all so much
for making me feel so welcome here.
