Fish Story Line cast with graceful skill... A nibble of interest and I was hooked Though powerless over your expertise I struggled for a time- trying to maintain my freedom Yet, the further I moved from side to side, the closer I came... to you Slowly...certainly... you reeled me in all the while earning my trust Allowing me to become comfortable in your care Finally... I came within reach and you grasped me gently yet firmly in your hands- You held on tightly and I was safe in your secure embrace Everyone was happy There were cheers and congratulations... and you... You were so proud to call me your own It was no secret- you shouted it loudly for all to hear The dance floor was ours and soon I grew accustomed to you- Content to be your prize And then... As the music stopped and the people watched You gently removed the hook and threw me back -vlraynes "...until you have read the verse on his heart, |

Hi Vlraynes, I just love fishing. Unfortunately, relationships, unlike fishing, is best served, when there are no strings attached... I really enjoyed your Fish Story! I hope your having a nice holiday, Take Care, Richy |

(big hugggsssssss) Oh Vicky, I'm so sorry to hear that, dearest friend, I have been through this experience once before with Joanna; I thought I had the most perfect catch on my first try, but she hided so much from me and I had no choice but to throw her back in he sea and find what her heart truly desires! (sad sigh) I know it sounds like a pessimistic and pathetic cliche, but, they say "There are plenty of fish in the sea!" and when I think of all the contaminated waters of the ocean it makes me cry sometimes, but fear not, everyone will always find their perfect special somebody, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Vicky, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton Underneath your clothes, there's an endless story |

*Huglets* And somewhere, someday ... an aged fisherman will sit and tell the story about 'the one that got away'~ Me WUB YOU ! ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

Have to agree with Marge, as it sounds to me that this fisherman may be eating crow instead of enjoying a beautiful fish for a long, long time. Wish I could give a hug but hope it helps to know I care. |

That fisherman deserves to flounder in the Dead Sea! How dare he treat our beloved Vicky that way! You deserve far better! Keep the wonderful memories and cast the bad ones into outer space! Let the healing begin, Dear One! Sending you a rainbow of healing lights and a warm embrace, Linda xo |

Vicky, I sure know how this feels. Because, that is exactly what happened to me. It sure did hurt, too. I am sorry it happened to you. |
