The Letter of Love "Happy New Year, my darling, may all future days be cast in light may all your dreams wish you good nights…" his love letter spoke of dreams to come he wrote to her of chrysanthemums that would in her garden grow as would the glow in her heart "Happy New Year, my darling," laid before her eyes, the sound of his voice in her ears, reprised, and she saw there in memory's blue eyes the look of her in love with wise she glanced again at his strong scrawl the message of love sent across the walls of timeless pall to her So sure had he been his future was bright all he could see was her in his nights and she recalled the last time he was near, "Happy New Year, my darling" his voice resplendent as he had draped her neck with a silver pendant "Happy New Year, my love" she whispered low and in soft of candle light's glow she fingered the treasure draped on her neck and picked up the article of the car wreck "Happy New Year, my beloved" she whispered, through tears "I miss you so, these many years" and at the stroke of twelve she sought the sound of his voice that her memory wrought "Happy New Year, my darling may all future days be cast in light may all your dreams wish you good nights…" |

And a very HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU my friend. This was a wonderful piece to read right now....sort of fit my mood perfectly. Now don't go setting any records for partying tonight, just do it with the grace and subtleness that you do everything else with so well. |

How careful? Wait now just a little fun you know weeenie teeenie bit! NO DRIVING WHILE DRINKING? Maybe no driving at all would be in order as it would be easy to become a victim of a drunk driver's mistake This is so sad but so romantically beautiful from the letter to the necklace...what a tragedy what a wonderful write!! |

Now WHY did you want to make me cry this morning...This was so sweet and then so sad. A good message for all to remember though, about being careful on the roads. My champagne bottle and I are staying home. I wish you a happy day every day in the new year Sandra |

unless a meteorite hits the house I'm safe - going nowhere - and don't expect to imbibe any alcohol - Your poem is so beautiful - I almost missed the car wreck (clearly it could be another poem without it) nonetheless a great cautionary piece |
