Measure Of Love
~*Marge Tindal*~

I've never known lonely
I've never known blue
That is if you don't count
time not spent with you

I have known sorrow
I have known pain
Sometimes desolation
has called me by name

But in surrender
to your open arms
I'm sheltered in love
safe from all harm

And in the balance
of life in true measure
I am weighted in gold
with your love that I treasure

I do not know lonely
I do not know blue
For in your love I am balanced
with the blessings of you


*I'm gonna dedicate this one to SEA~
A survivor who has found her anchor.
Love ya', gal.

Love like the balance is weighed by outcomes.
Celebration of success - a fine dedication.

What a beautiful comparison Marge, a lovely rhythm and flow to this beautiful piece. I loved your tender sentiments throughout, and I'm certain SEA will be delighted with this wonderful dedication!  

Best wishes,

This is beautiful, Marge.... I know the first two verses well, have visited the third for a few precious hours... but oh, to find such safe harbor and know it's lasting! *S* Great work!

Safe anchor indeed.
Sounds like a nice anchor to cling to when the sky is both calm and when it is stormy

Time flies? Say it not so, time stays we go.
