Saluting with misty eyes

0 posted 2003-07-24 03:06 PM



SOMEWHERE OUT THERE is a golden rainbow
Casting GOLDEN CIRCLES upon the mantle
As THE CANDLE BURNS on into the coming dark
TODAY I reflect on the love we lost
IF ONLY we had been able to see love
The damage OF HEARTS AND MINDS we were creating
And THESE CHAINS we were casting around our lives
That ONLY LOVE would have saved
IF ONLY we had known THIS SECRET shared by only some
By those who were WATCHING YOU walk away from me
Mourning the love of THIS GUY, THAT GIRL
THAT WAS WHEN we were both too young to know
That love, ONE DAY GONE, is forever lost
FROM THIS DAY FORWARD, NOT JUST TODAY
I send you away in peace

OK, OK... maybe it's not my best, however I figured that if her challenge was good enough to do, then my Type-A personality would be able to find a way to over-do it.

We see the light of those
Who find the world has passed them by
Too late to save a dream from growing cold...

I like this. You did a good joy tying all several of the lines in...

“We are all travelers in the wilderness of this world, and the best that we can find in our travels is an honest friend.” –Robert Louis Stevenson

Sue- Once again, Thanks for the kindness
EC- Thank You
