[a shining star that's what you are] you alone are who you are I stare in the mirror know and understand the man I see we are young into each other trying to identify grasping outstretched hands to the other I am old you're just beginning to lean toward it you are there I am here two people with miles and miles between us still, we share a bond we give the other a measure to our demons a little at a time giving of that part of ourselves because it's the right thing to do our bond is about having confidence in the other else, why bother we have good rapport no storm clouds on the horizons even so and if there were thunder and lightning and monsoon rains we would strip down and splash in the mud puddles mere storms cannot weaken our connection it can only strengthen it [a shining star that's what you are] ©November 6, 2011 / Jerry Pat Bolton ~*~ If they give you lined paper, write sideways ~*~ [This message has been edited by JerryPat2 (11-09-2011 08:57 PM).] |

Thank you suthern, but it all may be over soon. My tender pondering is becoming difficult. Thank you so much. ~*~ If they give you lined paper, write sideways ~*~ |
