"nudge me with remember when ~" Oooh this is SO very special...love it!  All it takes is a gentle nudge with reminders of memories past, to release the inner child in us. This is indeed a keeper Chris!! ~Love ya, and miss ya, Teed~ ~ I like not only to be loved, |

 (smiles) Oh Chris, sweet friend, this is sooooooo adorable! (kiss on cheek) I always never hesitate to ask my grandma and grandpa for stories so I can get to know the essence of their shining lives and get to know them more and more and love them more and more, yay, this is soooooo precious, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Chris, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "You'll find something that's enough to keep you |

Chris This is a woderful example of what I consider "heart poetry",...an arrangement of language that paints a picture of invisibles and vapors, touchable only by the spirit that guides our emotions...What Longfellow called a "a simple but, heart-felt lay" the kind that he knew would , when read, help "Banish the thoughts of the day" It is 3:30 a.m. and I cannot sleep... Thank you for helping me banish mine. ________ice ><> |

Very beautiful. JThere is society where none intrudes, by the deep sea, and music in its roar. |

Friend Chris, your quest is always worth a tale For days and lives have times that make us wail. So if I could, I'd spin for you a yarn Of critters that live somewhere in a barn. There's Chickapig who oinks instead of clucks and Billy Goat who quacks just like the ducks. These are kinda silly now, I know. But help us feel sometimes life ain't so. Thanks for your fine writing.
