Anything, anything
Anything at all.
From the valley so low,
To the mountain so tall.

From the deepest depths,
Of the great blue sea.
Pray tell what you crave,
That I might bring it to thee.

A single snowflake,
From Everest's peak.
I would fetch it for you,
If the words you did speak.

The rarest of flower,
From the worlds deepest wood.
I'd bring you back two,
I avow that I would.

The most fabulous of gems,
From deep in the Earth.
I'd salvage a bushell,
to afford you my worth.

One tipple of water,
From the lands clearest spring.
I'd divine the very one,
And that's what I'd bring.

Out into the night,
To glean a glint from a star.
I would find a way,
No matter how far.

If you should pine for them all,
Just make your decree.
Ardently I defer,
You possess all of me.

Hello Joe

You never cease to amaze me with the depth of your words and this was exceptional.  Here is a little rambling from me to you.


Your words bring to life
Every sight and every sound
How fortunate we are
To have you around

Take care........Sue

I am in motion
I am blue
Love is an ocean
I'm anchored in you
