Sixty-nine minutes was all it took to know my love for you just over an hour and no second look to feel that our love would be true Sixty-nine moments where time stood still the stars in the skies stopped as well the moon in romance dipped its night quill, and gave us a night filled by spell Sixty-nine memories from your first kiss an omen of love blossomed forth the tingling caress that filled me with bliss the voice of my folks in great wroth Sixty nine years together we stayed each moment a lesson in care right up to the day, when you went away at your picture, I now stop and stare Sixty-nine sighs each moment in time remind me that you've gone so far and silvery moonbeams, oh so sublime dance out my tears with the stars Sixty-nine million thoughts of our love to warm me on cold winter nights although you're residing in heaven above I feel you so near … stay my knight. Shame on all of you who thought this would need to be moved to adult. Why do yesterdays remain and todays pass by ...unnoticed? Rex E. Alford |

How beautiful! (And how lucky to have 69 years with such a love!) Okay, okay... *G* I'd better hush before I start speculating.... Nan's still got an eraser around here! LOL |

Kethry, this is wonderful, it brought tears and joy. (As for the adult bit, flutters eyelashes and asks in innocence, why?) It's no good, you know I'm not that innocent, I know. This is another of your priceless gems, I really love this one. Take care Slushy Mushy  Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning |

I apologize for my thoughts. Just simply thought you were still trying to make Balladeer smile. The poem was beautiful. |

K, this is so special and touching. And I just have to comment on one other thing, I think your choice of a quote (and author) is perfect. I miss seeing Rex at the forums  Sandra |

Trying hard to look innocent here  This was beautifully woven Kethry...your talent grows with each weave~ You cannot dance in the sun until you have cried in the rain~ |

Well, inot2B, she DID make Balladeer smile! I am not going to comment on this clever little thing because I know my limitations and I would never get through it without being banished to the realm of Toerag!!! |
