It’s just caramel ice cream
A bit too sweet to eat
So I will gaze longingly
At this summer treat

The boy who broke my heart
Grew up long ago
I never had the guts to tell him
That I loved him so

It’s like caramel ice cream
Tempting but much too bad
If I take a single bite
I will wish I never had

The man I love with all my heart
Had to go away
And I never had the nerve to tell him
How much I wanted him to stay

It’s like caramel ice cream
So sinfully sublime
To order it when I know
To eat it would be a crime

I call my life disciplined
But this new man is divine
If I spend the night with him
I’ll want him forever mine

It’s like caramel ice cream
You can’t have just one taste
Order the darn thing right now
Life’s too sweet to waste!

Let my words fall first upon deaf ears before a closed mind...

Wise words... enjoy.

Throw your heart out in front of you
And run out to catch it.

Just reading this was a delightful treat, and one of those things where you can't eat just a little!!!!!!!!!  Loved it, but then, I have a sweet tooth, and this one satisfied those cravings!!!!!!!!!!!    

The road goes on forever, and the stories never end...
