Reach Take the hand of all that is And sip the magic of its fizz Taste the waters of the day And the wiles of nights display. It is better to taste the treat Even if it bittersweet Does it make you want to smile? Or will you join me in the wile Does it make you roar in pain? Or does it pluck your strings of sane Do you pick the flowers still? Or have you lost your fighting will Do you throw the dice of fate? Or say, I’ve time I think I’ll wait As for me I plant and sew To aid the future come and go For it’s better to plant a seed Than all the rant of bleed and plead. |

Best to savor every treat And learn to swallow bittersweet Into the bitter, pleasures seep And not to sow, is not to reap Love your thoughts for the day Always a lesson from the wise Liz |

Sy, Just had to stop in for another morning vitamin! Your work always has some form of optimism in it-a great way to begin a new day. I sliced the lemon. Enjoy a cup of tea. ~Sadelite~ |

(big angel hugs) Oh Seymour, this is fabulous, sweet friend, hope is what cultivates all to reach for the stars and when we plant the seed softly to the ground, the roots will shape and stretch further than imagined! (sigh) God Bless You, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Seymour, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "You'll find something that's enough to keep you |
