Your words are

Steel
Standing strong and proud
Designed to last forever
Wonders to behold

Comfort
A place to retreat
As the whole world fades away
Contentment abides

Lace
Threads of life woven
With use of delicate touch
In unique patterns

Heroic
No spandex or cape
But you fly, conquer evil
Make the world better

Droplets
Refreshing tired souls
Offering hope and cleansing
Sustaining through drought

Magic
Taking us elsewhere
On some journey you've prepared
Opening our eyes

Mine
You write for many
But some touch me so deeply
Become my treasures.

Suthern, we often attract that which we ourselves are--the same thing goes for poetry! Your words are whereof you speak, Dear One.

Love, Light, & Literature!

Excellent, simply excellent. This a tribute to the very things that a writer tries to attain, and feels like both king of the world and its luckiest gambler, in those times when he succeeds --

As you have here.

Her hardest hue to hold."

Nothing gold can stay."

(smiles) And no spandex would ever come close to the durability of your golden heart that reflects all these precious things; magic, lace, comfort! (kiss on cheek) God Bless You, sweet friend, you are one of a kind, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Suthern, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!
