The Book Just read a book of three small words All it said was “You were heard.” I closed the lid and thought awhile My ID was struck, my face a smile I looked for author’s vanity And found it signed humanity I noticed that the book was worn The single page tattered and torn And they’re upon the back were signs Tear drops old with salt of brine I knew this book was read before Had made its way from door to door And then I knew what I must do Pass it to my neighbors view And hold the lesson learned that day To help me pass along the way And peace has rested by my side Since that book has touched abide. |

And then I knew what I must do Pass it to my neighbors view and this is what you do each day for us with your wisdom rhymes. And found it signed humanity yeppers...its spelled like this: SY.  *ww*    ... and it's you ... you ... you ... you ... the light changes when you're in the room. M.B. |

Morning Sy guy!  Well I'll say one thing.. you most certainly have been heard. And, I don't know what I would do without 'hearing' your words of wisdom each and every day. Beautiful piece this early morn. ~Morning hugs & tea, Nancy~ To have lived the dream of a love so true... |

This needs the issuance of a hanky alert, if one reads slowly, and caresses each single word. You were heard. |
