It was only yesterday when we met, and touched through some lifetime familiar of trials before we met again, then found ourselves wrapped in welcome brace, and knew such silence because we loved so much of what we didn’t know and it was quite right, that silence, as time became louder than words could ever be, like it is when some salt-laden ocean clings to a heartbeat, where pearls grow when the fog winds you in and some morrow that was only once a dream comes true. It was rather like that, then, some almost three years ago, a wee bit following your other day of birth that year when we learned to lean upon each other so well… that talk became breath, breath, sighs, and sighs worked their way into smiles of yes, I know. Happy Birthday, Flower Girl. ![]() " It matters not this distance now " Excerpt, Yesterday's Love |

Ah dear Karilea how this oozes of things that seem to be familiar. And for such a special lady too. This if full of love and understanding all the things anyone could wish for as a birthday present. Thanks, and Martie I hope it is another special birthday. If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, |

when we learned to lean upon each other so well… that talk became breath, breath, sighs, and sighs worked their way into smiles of yes, I know. A true friendship awesomely expressed, dear Karilea. I love you both and it is a pleasure to witness this precious bond. Happy Birthday dear Martie, from the bottom of my heart. Love and big hugs, Margherita ![]() ![]() |
