Stolen Moments

Each one is like a buried treasure
held within the safety of my heart
Their value I can never measure
for their warmth fills me when we’re apart

In the lonely hours I take them out
shading them from many eyes that pry
Often the feelings I write about
are these jewels on which I rely

They sparkle with crystal tears of truth
as life has set the course we pursue
No longer in the first bloom of youth
when convention was bidden adieu

Stolen moments that still fill my years,
with each one lasting me a lifetime
Regardless of how it all appears
I’ll not forget writing in wild rhyme

Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams.

Karen...I think we all have these little
treasures that we turn to and reflect on.
All part of memories...sometimes of another
year and place...sometimes not...Enjoyed
this...lots..

Cherished moments like pearls on a string

Fool, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write.

This winds its way to many avenues of thought...how a parent steals that tenderly quiet moment with a sleeping child, how a person steals a quiet moment to him or herself...how a stolen moment of extra shut-eye can make all the difference in the world...

liking this, I am!

Karen - you leave me with thoughts of how many moments have been stolen from this soft heart. But I look ahead to what might be, to share those moments, not to be stolen from...

Hello Karen

Every moment that you spend here is our gain and it is so nice to see you here again.  As usual your words spoke volumes and carried your unique touch.

Take care.......Sue
