Eyes elsewhere with thoughts in tow Mind mired in tomorrow Worry calls weary walls of waiting Knows to the grindstone his heart must stay dedicated Burden bound by thoughts... Tempting me to take you away to the Tahiti of your dreamed someday memory My elsewhere eyes take you in tow wistful in missing for granted moments of unknotted brow's easy smile Worry calls weary walls of waiting His nose to the grindstone where he stays dedicated I'm burden bound by thoughts... Tempting me to take us away to a sunny sometime today Where sweet breezes blow tensions away Worries at bay Affection's easy and free Nothing there but you and me LGR(C)6/17/11 |

I understand your empathy and frustration. ~ Those are my principles, and if you don't like them ... well, I have others. ~ |

How deeply poignant and beautiful, dear Lori. I think many can relate, as we always wish to lighten the burdens of those we love with all of our hearts. Tahiti seems a good place to recharge the batteries and disperse the worries. Love, Margherita |
