Heaven waited in her eyes
Her smile
The lure of demise
Her breath
The breeze of spring delight
Her way
The joy of every night
Her scent
The loving rose in bloom
Change
The ever road to doom
Promise
Just the moment’s word
Hope
The mending wing of bird
Love
The thought of always true
Each day
A test we’re going through

Cpat Hair, how true is your reply, the test is a little different for everyone, but also so much the same, the stayers keep trying. Thanks for your reply, very much appreciated.

Sincerely

Hello Rick

So very true are your words and for many it can be such a struggle of emotions.

Take care......Sue

I'm anchored in you

littlewing, you are so kind to give me this wonderful complement, thank you so much, hugs and kisses back.

garysgirl, thanks for your reply, sometimes the test makes us weaker, it can be a battle, as we all know.

nakdthoughts, staying, you are so right, not too many stay around anymore, the greener grass and all that, but sometimes habit retards happiness; I am pondering life always.

To you all my friends, again, thank you for the replies and your friendship.

Sincerely
Rick
