~A Kiss Goodnight~  with loving hands she sets in place upon a doily made of lace a precious little wooden box contents safe behind its locks evenings you can find her there relaxing in her rocking chair box wide open to reveal remnants of a love surreal every letter fondly sent penned in words sincerely meant gently stacked with loving care have not a wrinkle nor a tear one by one she opens them treats each one as priceless gem soon you'll see her softly smile in sweet remember for awhile back into the box they go gently tied with silken bow she'll close the lid, turn the key and kiss goonight his memory fifty years he held her heart he swore to her they'd never part even now he sends his love a kiss goodnight from up above ~vlraynes A great big HUG to Marge, for pulling an all-nighter with me and helping me find just the right graphic. I appreciate you!  "...until you have read the verse on his |

Exquisitely carved into the heart-strings with a flowing form and aesthetic rhyme. Very nice work. -MVS "When you tell the Truth, you never have to remember what you just said." |

Oh this is so touching, makes me think of my Grandmother, with her box of photos, rather than letters. A lovely picture of a love that never truly dies. Sandra |

hmmmmmmmmm.....an all nighter with Margie-girl...now that seems like a good reason to NEED a pic. LOL In all seriousness, this was a beautiful piece with or without the pic and I think you should pat yourself on the back for a treasure of a creation. Well, heck, someones has to and my arms ain't that long. Very nice format, way cool images and the constuction is flawless. Someone has been getting serious about her poetry and it shows. |
