Question And Answer You ask quietly if I love you I say only this as my reply I have loved you throughout time And in spite of it Although towering mountains crash and crumble And mighty rivers run dry Through fire, through storms While the air catches fire And seas fade to dust I have loved you in hope And in spite of despair Within the essence of my soul the core of me Although we run throughout ages And in fleeting moments With every breath inhaled And every beat of my heart I have loved you in dreams And in the reality of life Although the stars fell out of the heavens And the sun turned to ice In spite of reasons or sense With every cell of my being And every strand of my soul My love has its roots in trust And in honesty It is rooted in truth it’s a pure love It asks for nothing in return It seeks to give and not to receive It is, so it must be And it is given freely As the world spins So turns my love Showing and revealing its clear light It’s a reflection of my soul It shines seeking to enlighten Not to confuse but to give This is the gift of love It is there to be shared Love has to be given it is not for hoarding The more you give the more there is In giving you receive In taking you give With love as the gift I am gifted in return With love The answer carried to you on a sigh is yes Marsha Take back the hope you gave,- I claim |

If this is your first, I can't wait to read more! You have written love perfectly. Speak when you are angry--and you'll make the best speech you'll ever regret...Laurence J. Peter |

My sweet and truly fabulous sisters and friends thank you truly. As you know my visits for the moment are serverly restricted, otherwise I'd stay here all day in my haven of hope. I miss you all tremendously, and I know you will forgive me for not thanking you each personally. Instead I send you each my love and a butterfly kiss to nesstle within your hearts. Until I can be with you all again, I know that it will stay there recalling me to you. Love and warm stuff Mushy  Take back the hope you gave,- I claim |
