Precious Gems By Larry Chadwick I was reviewing the highlights of my life, And found you there for most of them. The sweetest moments of discovery, Have been like collecting precious gems. Then I was reviewing the rest of my life, And there you were again. The bitter moments purify like fire, Refining those collected precious gems. That’s the wonderful thing about my life, That you are at its core. Now I cherish all those precious gems, What else is aging for? |

Larry, great read. 's funny I always thought aging was so that the wrinkles would have a place to live. Oh well Cest la vie. Kethry Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown |

Larry darling boy this is UTTERLY UTTERLY fanbulous Why is it that your writing is sooooo expressive? Well, whatever it is absolutely fabulous darling boy. Yet again I find this consigned to oblivion in the outter reaches of space. Or in this case so far back that no one would find it without a hunt. I can't let these beauties disappear before they've been seen by the other seekers of beauty so I return it to the top of the first page. Never fear Larry darling boy my mission is to seek out the fallen gems And I will always find the good stuff   Love and warm stuff As always Mushy  To give light to them that sit in darkness..... to guide our feet into the way of peace St John ch2 v1 [This message has been edited by Marsha (01-11-2002 10:49 PM).] |

Sue, That special someone is my wife. It has been a slightly bumpy but delightful ride, getting smoother every day! Thanks. Keth, As always, you crack me up. Love to see your name in my list of responses as I am assured of a smile, if not an outright guffaw! Bless you and thanks. Mushy, Where would I be without you? You sure put a lot of effort into your posts. Both in finding poems to respond to and the post itself. Your dedication is admirabley devout for all to see. Let's see...eight days? |

*sigh* it is sooooooooo good to read the words of a man who knows the wonderful treasure he has in his wife...I love this poem...it speaks from your heart. Love is not meant to always be clear sailing but as time goes on two indeed become one of heart, mind and soul like you and your wife are. BRAVO!!! **big hugs**  Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams. |
