To find solace in your embrace,
whether tears or smiles are upon your face.
With you by my side I can walk with my head held high,
I can be sanguine.

And if ever I reached nadir in this life,
I know that you would be there to ward away the imprecation.
You love with probity,
and forever each moment you are genuine.

My heart is friable,
but with you it is wide open and protected.
When I fail, you guide me,
just as a mother should.

Its nice to that you aren't hoary,
because the times have changed.
I don't want to be known as a wastrel,
and with you I can find an abundance of love.

Uh Kellie,
A question about this:

My heart is friable,
but with you it is wide open and protected.
When I fail, you guide me,
just as a mother should.

Does that involve a frying pan?

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

um... is my dictionary mistaken? My dictionary said Friable means easily crumbled or pulverized.....

I decided that I was well lacking in the vocabulary department, so I went and got a list of words off of a Vocabulary word generator, and well now I have lots and lots of new words to expand my vocabulary with, and Im hoping that I am using them all in the proper contexts, and If Im not I hope someone would point that out to me...

Thank You all for the sweet comments, much enjoyed.

And yes this muse is on a streak of luck right now... I hope it lasts to all eternity too.

Kellie,
It was a yoke!

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