It’s good to have a place to go and do,
To use my skills the years have taught to me,
It makes those times less harsh in missing you,
Meaning instead of just seeming to be.

You still go on silver wings too often,
But I know that is what you want to do,
Travel the winds to there and back agin,
It’s part of life I must accept with you.

I pass time easier with working hands,
Busy actions make the time to go fast,
Some day we will build on different plans
When togetherness and staying will last.

But now you go and visit foreign lands,
And I’ll stay turning steel with working hands.

Bill

Bill,
it was no hard task to read this, for is flowed like water turning under the winds of a mill.

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.  Unknown

sometimes  you have to do what you have to do..and if she has to go off on wings then you can  write about her and the warmth of thoughts waiting for her return.

(sigh) Soooooooo powerfully expressed, sweet friend, I too know this feeling so well; I can be forced to labor but with my hands I can always build something that will come handy for later when I offer my love onward! (big hugggssssss) So well said, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Bill, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
