For the Love For the love and loving that you do so naturally and the respect you give me to be what I want to be For the times that I can sit and not have to say a word but know by touch of hand that I am understood. For listening to my stories and telling me the truth and morning coffee and a paper without even being asked For the beauty that is in you the way that you see life for all the glorious little things like being handy with a knife How you make a garden sing is a thrill beyond compare for the hard work and the labor that keeps us from despair For your soul that’s full of goodness I will always be so glad that you came into my life that grandma told you what you had For all those things and just one more I’m truly glad that you were born. In the dew of little things, the heart finds its morning and is refreshed. (ee cummings) |

What a beautiful life you have! Martie, I will be going to visit my son in Mountain View perhaps in January. Any chance you live close by? Liz |

Lucky lady you are, Martie...and how wonderful that you know it I enjoy your poetry so much! It's not the love you fear, but the fall from the height~Edwin McCain |
