Instead Like, one tree in a forest Like, a needle in the pine Like, one petal of a flower One true love, is hard to find. Like, the tree, some will die Like, the needle, falling dead Like, a petal, tween a page Emptiness, there in love's stead.

"One true love, is hard to find" or sometimes there is only that one true love and then when it is gone~~ it is gone forever. M |

THE THIN LINE Life's end is just a second round any unknown bend - There is no way to tell just when it all may end - Each moment of our lives is one of those precious few And we hope down, deep inside that many more are due - We wake up each morning and look through sleep-filled eyes At the wonder of the world and infinite skies - We see all those living things and the life there to share Where we can make dreams come true if we really care - We steal those moments from the clutch of Father Times' hand - Sometimes not as many as we'd originally planned - They can slip quickly away into the past, wasted - Give bitter or sweet flavor to what we have tasted - Sometimes they are those kind that are best of the best - Then there are always those that will put us to the test - We will never know and there is no way to tell If tomorrow will bring heaven or total hell - But, once those seconds pass they are forever gone And one day all of us must face our final dawn - So, of those spaces in between we should make the most For some day we'll all be memories once we lose that timely host. 11.15.84 Del "Abe" Jones Mankind's greatest accomplishment is not the revolution of technology, it is the evolution of creativity.

"one true love is hard to find" ~ Yes, but if we are fortunate enough to find it, we must realize that we are only the holders of it ~ not the keepers of it. Enjoyed reading your thoughts.  Linda |
