and let the sun shine bright and the rain fall down and the winds blow their gentle and the gentle be you and let the air take a breath and the sky blaze blue and the rivers flow their natural and the natural be you and let the days be full and the nights be long and the summers bring their smiles and the smiles be you for you are a light to behold... Be kind at heart....for everyone you meet has their own battle to fight......... |

Oh, dear Roniece, you created a masterpiece! I am listening to divine music right now and your words are the perfect accompaniment to its overwhelming beauty (prayers from lyrical Operas ... Haydn, Tschaikovsky, Donizetti ...). This is my absolute favorite of yours! Deeply captivating! love and hugs Margherita ![]() |

I have to echo Margherita(if she doesn't mind), if it's not the best thing you have written, its certainly up there. |

the gentle and natural delivered with light and smiles... who could ask for more?!... this is one of the best poems I have EVER read! very serious and long-sustained applause... [a 'poetic standing ovation' sent along for this grand-fine 'penning!'] |

Dear RDB, There is a very nice thought behind this poem. Try it without the "and"s starting the lines. I imagined it without them, and it works great. I gotta go get ready for Mass. Bobby |
