Not enough That little rain we had today was not enough to wash away the guilt and shame and sorrow The mark still shows from head to toes we'll try again tomorrow Apologies are mearly words which fly away like startled birds but still I had to speak them We move along 'neath clouded skies with teardrops building in our eyes because again I failed you You cleaned up the mess I made but still I find myself afraid I thanked you not enough adagio |

I came back to add I am so proud of you. I just read this aloud to Krista and I confess my voice wavered as tears filled my eyes. This is sweet sincerity my friend. I am just so tickled. |

This is absolutely beautiful, adagio... and?... agreeing with Karen... your sincerity flows freely through your words. Thank you for sharing this... "When the power of love overcomes the love of power the world will know peace." --Jimi Hendrix |

Thank you Karen for the kind words, and before you ask yes Leah has already forgiven me. And by the way she said she thoroghly enjoyed her stimulating conversation with your rather brilliant daughter last week or whenever that was. Thanks to all the rest of you for reading. I really appreciate the feedback. adagio |

I don't know what you did Ralph, but if you do it again, you'll answer to ME too. But if Leah forgives you, so do I. Now give us a visit, will ya? (and you are than welcome, as those "kind words" were well deserved) |
