Life is a cold war
Every day a victory
Peace in hope of time

Ah, life is truly a war, won by one small battle at a time and peace, although it seems so elusive, is really just beyond our grasp.

Doesn't matter how long or short your verses are, Martie.

Your sentiments are eloquent, and always heartfelt.

Three Lines About Martie

When she says small thought,
get ready for a big one:
it's a relative thing.


And about this....

Cold? Yes..............War? Half of one anyhow; but wars should have sides.
Every day? Yes......Victory? What's that?
Peace? Hope?........Maybe, in time. I sure hope so.

I could apply these three lines to the world, my family, my faith, and myself - and I haven't even mulled it over yet Very profound Martie.

Martie,

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.

Wonderfully tight writing.  Great twist of words.  KJ

The yawn of a dawn will hasten the light
