If you don't know the story about The Lantern Bearers, please find that post in Feelings. . .

This is a poem about the beauty of my love
     But what words will I write?
How can I tell you about the face of my love
     And it's glow, that would pierce the night?

This is a poem about the beauty of my love
     I'm at a loss for words
There is one thing I can say about the beauty of my love
     There is none that compares with hers

For those that should see the poem Sven refers to, find it here:
/pip/Forum1/HTML/000113.html

and Sven, albeit she might be a lost love, it is nice to see that there is still a flame in your heart.  No wonder we are all, here, warmed by your presence.

This is a lovely poem Sven.  But I think I can think of one's love that would compare to hers........yours.  Take care my friend.

Thank you. . .

Sudhir, thank you. . . but I think that "majestic" might just be a little much!!  

Sunshine, thanks for the link. . . just thought that everyone (old and new) would like to know more about the feelings behind this. . . and yes, the flame is always there. . .

Marina, you are just too much sometimes. . . thank you. . .

You have given, what I think to be the highest of all compliments. "There is none that compares to hers" This was so tender and sweet........Written with a caring heart.
