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.

Ethel & Linda thankyou both. Seems many are  going thru some sort of unhappiness and/or loss right now. I just wish we all could touch our computer screens and feel the love and understanding we truly have for each other. hugs!

Chris, this is beautiful, as are you.  What a precious gift.

Hugs-- Susan

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you.  Joy is a state of mind.

So lovely this is Chris...
Dixie will be pleased and perhaps her spirits uplifted.

Something from the sea, whichever one I'm near.

Honey, your touch goes beyond
the computer screen.  Anyone who reads you,
feels you in their heart.
