No Substitute For You

This holiday season
I was looking for
chocolate covered cherries,
and for you.
I didn't find
either one,
so without,
I'll have to do.
That doesn't mean
I don't yearn
for that chocolate,
or for you.
I can always find
a substitute
for the chocolate,
but there's no
substituting you.

May the passion ever flow through your pen.

Just like sugar and sweet-n-low....the real thing is best! I agree!

No substitute when it comes to love...love has to be real....

Open your eyes, open your mind, open your heart, let me come in and show you love.....~ARH

So lovely, James.

There are many ways to taste sweetness, but where the heart is involved, there is less choice ... there is the One.

Love, Margherita
