As Easy as a Gown Dropped How you gentle me when I would dance and twirl around your blue eyes until you fall dizzy into the warmth of me but you hold my shoulders and I melt where I stand into the tenderness of your hands and in your face I see all the years of us Still you keep me surrounded with your trust and when I would dance you watch bedazzled and take the years from me as easy as a gown dropped beside the bed |

Sunshine--and NO one make me smile like YOU do! Kathleen--Thank you for "yes". Marge--You do! Vicky--Thank you so much! Maree--which proves you're not speechless, Logan--I think you probably always have the right words. Wandering Glider--I like that...thanks! |

so, so. so very lovely, Martie I hope this doesn't take away from the profundity of this piece, but I couldn't help but think of the caring, talented hand of one who is able to 'gentle' a horse and the way you spoke of still begin surrounded by trust in the midst of melting to the joy of the promised in the gentle touches I hope I'm clear in what I'm trying to say...this was so very lovely |

If you wrote a book of verse and I saw the last copy on the bookstore shelf, I'd wrestle ANYONE to get my hands on it---does that tell you how much I think of your work? |
