Had I Not Had I not, the vision and the breath so bold To follow beta mandate, letting time unfold Flowed in percussion all that I could hold Had I not, found the beauty of every day Cherished, in a certain way of living Seen the possibilities, found only in forgiving First myself, and then my heart Had I not, let the days depart Certain that the good would come Surrendered, to such randomness as done Had I not, chanced what deep inside could not wait Found, the green grass far more supple let time pass with fate Draw the straw for my slipper, drunk so deeply from love’s dipper Had I not, had I not Would there be another sunrise to discern? Would I know the fire so intimate to burn? Had I not, found the courage in my truth Spoken clearly, even dearly as my way of living proof Had I not, had I not, Would you? Copyright Kkh 3/23/08 |

Kathleen~ 'Had I not, found the beauty of every day Cherished, in a certain way of living Seen the possibilities, found only in forgiving First myself, and then my heart' That's about as purtimous as purtimous can be~ *Huglets*  ~*Marge*~ ~*The sound of a kiss is not as strong as that of a cannon, but it's echo endures much longer*~ |
