Once in Every Lifetime


Once in every lifetime, a love comes to touch you
Once in every heart there’s a dream
Once in every youth you discover life’s secrets
Once you do, you follow a beam

Every moon is meant to remind you of someone
Every star remembers that day
Every special moment is clear in your memory
No one else can take it away

You will live in joy with the memories inside you
Even through the sorrowful days
For there’s a love that still dwells within your heart's passion
Once in every lifetime , one stays

You know, Liz, you have a beautiful spirit to be able to write like this.  These kind of thoughts can only come from a heart that is gentle and pure. Your gifts are always magic, as this was!

Pen how you truly feel...
it is a safety-valve for the soul!

Elizabeth darling girl when you write the world stills to read the words of wonder, the moon shines with a certain special glow when your words are breathed into the nights air. I love this utterly utterly.

You know there are those who would read this and their lives will be transformed by the touch of this gem on their souls, because of this they will be enriched beyond measure. Truly this is utterly utterly beautiful writing


Love and warm stuff
As always
Mushy

Breathe through the heat of our desire
Thy coolness and they balm
Let sense be dumb let flesh retire
Speak through the earthquake wind and fire

Lilting, lovely.

Oh, yes, such memories are evoked when one beholds the celestial bodies--for love comes from above...

~ May the firmament be full of loving memories from your past, your present and your future.
