if you chose to love
weep not for it's undoing
instead be grateful
that someone cared so deeply
frightened too this dream might end

the softness of reality, yet the strength of positive faith..gained the hands of both picture and words...this was delightful to read...elegant and a wishful directory for all those who love...

hugs and smiles sent your way

(chuckling).. hun.. the temptation doesn't depend on how big the basket..or if it even qualifies as a basket...
size isn't everything you know...

Hi!  

All baskets hanging or otherwise aside..
this is such an honest poem Chris.
It's like that saying..um,
"Don't cry because it's over..
Smile because it happened".

Two people go into a relationship knowing it could end so why weep, uh, if it does..and .. I just completely lost my train of thought...(I think they just kicked in cause I have the giggles and rambles too!!)

Sorry..*Nancy tries to regain her composure..as though she ever had any*

Seriously little sister..I love this..
and you chose the perfect pic to go with it.

~Hugs, love and miss ya, Teed~

~Somewhere in my heart I'm always
Dancing with you in the summer rain ~

I once dated a nice gentleman who stated that he "grew too comfortable, too quickly..."

Have to give him credit for a drop-dead line....

There is the risk in loving, but it is worth the reward --

hugs -- Susan

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you.  Joy is a state of mind.

Beautiful thoughts...the reason I feel bad is that I feel like I fell in love all by myself...disappointing...very disappointing when that happens...but can be avoided by giving the heart more slowly...hard...very hard...James

Thankyou all for your more than kind replies.
James - many of us fall too fast, too hard. It is hard to learn to slow down when love is in the air. Hugs!
