walking on the edge again- this time I just might fall in slipping a little more each step on the teeters and the totters old love letters make good sailboats only in shallow waters. |

I agree with Roniece (as if I would dare do otherwise :-) Few words....big impact! Well done. The greatest thing you can do for another is not just to share your own riches...but to reveal to him his own. |

you are always transparent and thought-provoking, but those love letters might make better anchors than sailboats... |

DixieDoodles~ 'old love letters make good sailboats only in shallow waters.' Oh, I like the all of the thoughts here~ *Huglets*  ~*Marge*~ ~*The sound of a kiss is not as strong as that of a cannon, but it's echo endures much longer*~ |

Dixie... I thought of the my children making sailboats out of anything they could find that floats and the gutter during rain. Your poem is much more profound. |

I've known people best described as "still water".....unfortunately in addition to that depth thing, there's the problem that goes with it.....still waters run stagnant. ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> |
