Bed of Roses
~ Linda L. Dowd ~

Drink the magic of fantasy's store,
In the Land of Forevermore.
Sate your soul in the ecstasy,
Of love, and laughter, and revelry.

O'er troubled bridges, may you leap,
And with the angels ~ may you sleep.
While all is blessed ~ both near and far,
In your land of Shangri-La.

May manna be your food divine,
And nectar brewed to honey wine.
And all you feel, see, think, and do,
Be reflections of the god in you.

May moon and stars shine down on thee,
In your dreams of fantasy.
As you lie in sweet repose,
On petal bed of love's red rose.

Lovely Linda~You have managed to touch on
many of Sy's favourite topics and dreams.
I know he will love this as much as I.
~Hugs and have a wonderfilled day, Nancy~

Now - while the leaves still dance on the wind
While the moon and the clouds come spinning
Will you whisper my name again?
Again...and again...

Nothing like a bed of roses to cure what ails you! Flowers Flowers Flowers

And all you feel, see, think, and do,
Be reflections of the god in you.



Bravo, dear Linda! The two lines I quote imply such a great truth.

Beauty for our dear Seymour!

Love and hugs.
