What curse hath this life brought me now? That in the autumnal eve endow, Blest gift in Love's hope to enthral, Yet placed to bough's end tempt my fall? What verse could I now hope to pen, To slay the sins of other men? Whose harm relegated to their wake, Downcast would my passage forsake. Immerse in Holy waters, soul Lest hate should take it's evil toll, I'll wait Love's patience takes its stand, Fate, thou hast misjudged your man! |

Richard,  Yanno, if an I had a magic wand, I'd take you to Neverland, There would be no more fate, And then no rhyme, "the Stand"! Yeah, I know zap  poor tinkerbell right?Sheesh...only in Texas! Did I make you smile, did I, did I? Huh, huh?  Kudos to you on this one Richard, but kinda sad, little kudos. "Lose your temper and you lose a friend; lie and you lose yourself." |

I dont think you need any assistance with this one ...loved it RS. Lovely~Victoria~ Every child is an artist. The challenge is to remain an artist once he grows up. |
