And Love You All Over Again Years ago, a long time past , I carved my name on a tree. Sometime later I carved yours, too. We both went away. I forgot where we had stood in the beam of sun we named our own, and said the words that bound us. I forgot you until the day you send a box, with part of a tree, that had fallen and died. I dug your picture out of the farthest reaches of a drawer at the bottom of my dresser, under everything, hidden, forgotten, gone. Many years ago you looked like this, and I, standing next to you, looked like that. We loved, but weren't lovers; we kissed, we hugged, did all the little things people in love do…but we weren't lovers. Not until today, when I received a box, with part of a tree that had fallen and died, and a note that may me cry, and love you all over again. w. james beard, jr. © march 2002 |

(BIG HUGGGSSSSSS) We all love you so much, sweet friend, may these sweet memories forever touch your heart and fill your heart with smiles and carve initials of delight to you! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet James, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton |

It is amazing how life can go full circle... kinda spinney! This was very tender and brought me to my past as well. Funny, it didn't seem as important then as it is right now. Thanks. ThisDiamond |

Jimmy, A man is born of blood and bone sometimes left beside, and alone A man is gifted when lips share true feelings of a man that cares. You are a man....a man with feelings.... and you write them very very well!! Don't stop! |
