In Closing How do you take your coffee? Or would you prefer tea? I'm glad you finally found the time, To sit and talk with me. I may not be attractive... And I'm no longer young; But I've long felt you had a hand, The time the stars were hung. When we were in our twenties, We were guided by our eyes. We wanted everything we saw, At last we realize... The things that are in important, In people, prose, or art... Are not the ones which catch the eye, But those that touch the heart. I've long been drawn by something, I could not put in words. It dwelt in everything you said, In everything I heard. Perhaps the chance for us is gone- But now at last I find... The things about you that I love: Your heart, your soul, your mind. So now I'll close my missal, Though doing so is hard... Here's wishing to you all my best, And fondest of regards. |

I really like this! I guess because of the lines The things about you that I love: Your heart, your soul, your mind Sometimes it takes a while to realize those are the only thing really worth loving. ~L |

precious poetry The things that are in important, In people, prose, or art... Are not the ones which catch the eye, But those that touch the heart. thanks yann |
