Before the years take their toll we have such a treasure of shining dreams for the future. We hide them away in a golden box of invincibility. Such dreams! They range the world, knowing no boundries. Anything is possible, anything! Years pass and time, that wily thief, steals them one by one. Until one day we look into the box, as Pandora did so long ago, to find that only hope remains. Ah...but it shines with the radiance of a star just plucked from the heavens. Ida Werrett [This message has been edited by Marchmadness (08-15-2008 10:50 AM).] |

Ida, that wily thief needs to be caught and put behind the bars. He’s been stealing everywhere now; hope is one way to keep him away. Prasad "Hardwork pays in the long run" |

Ah...but it shines with the radiance of a star just plucked from the heavens. You too shine, dear Ida, in the beauty of this piece. But please consider that for every dream that was "stolen" a new one will rise from within your heart. Love and hugs. Margherita |
