I met you in the Marina
as we played aboard the
sloop Jolly JC,
and my heart drifted
into the infinity
of your eyes
under Vincent blue skies.
Clouds from the Gods above
covered my searching soul
with undying Love;
and even when you later
broke my heart,
I whispered
"Thank you."

(big hugggssssss) Oh Kacy, I was hoping for a happy ending, but I suppose it is all in His plan and out of it there is a souvenir by any cause! (sigh) This is lovely, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Kacy, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

There are many nice phrases in this write, but "even when you later broke my heart" is wondrous.  KJ

KJ, thank you for that tender reply. It was a wondrous affair while it lasted.

Raph, yes, I grew up singing to those guys.I still like them.
Like an MJ line? you think so? Wow, what a 'thriller' to hear that.
