Gathering memories
like wildflowers
along a path
of pebbled years,
My life basket
overflows with
loving blossoms
of the Lords' blessings.
Tears of joy
spread a rainbow
of gratitude
upon my hearts' bounty,
and I am humbled
by the beauty
of life in bloom.

stunning meaning in these words Chris. Enjoyed, and tucked into the library....

Like a red brick,
in a white wall
somebodies brush
forgot to paint...
lonely....(as sung by Tracy Lawrence..)

Chris, this right here says SO much!
A path of pebbled years...
yes, they sure haven't been smooth, eh?
This is delicate and delightfully penned.
Love it....and you!
