 (smiles) Awwwwwwww, I love the gentle tranquility of this gorgeous poem, sweet friend, this reminded me ever sooooooooo much of that cute, gorgeous scene in "The Little Mermaid" where Ariel and Prince Eric are rowing together in a beautiful, colorful lagoon while "Kiss The Girl" plays! (sigh) I love this, sweet friend, yay, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Chris, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other" |
