Inked Affection By Larry Chadwick To Nancy Lee I whispered my love to you and I liked how it felt. Then I spoke my feelings to you knowing I was safe. What I had spoken with my lips I passed to you in a kiss and I knew it was right. I found my body longing to express my heart. And so ached to ink for you my commitment with my signature. I had never walked a trail that meant as much to me as that aisle. So I must confess I’d like to shout my love to the world but instead I thought I’d tell everyone I know… “That I am so in love with you.” February 16, 2006 If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again. |

I definitely agree with gentle spirit, this was one big sigh maker! I know I popped out a couple when I was reading this Absolutely beautiful and sweet. I'd say she's very lucky [This message has been edited by exhale (02-16-2006 11:56 PM).] |

Nancy, Thank you dear friend. Gentle Spirit, Thank you and that some one (Nancy Lee) is my lovely wife. exhale, Well now, thank you. That is much appreciated. Magnus, Thank you. It's nice to cross paths with you. When I'm online at home it should happen more often. Martie, Thanks. And ain't it the truth. I think if I were any happier I'd explode.

Buttons, Welcome to Passions! I am honored to be one of your first responses. And thank you for such kind words. I do hope you find this to be a lovely place and stay a long time. I'll search for your writing. Thanks. And cute name you've selected too. MartyJo! You crack me up. And for the record I've given rides to several people in their 70's so if you're ever in Phoenix mom... And thanks for your tender heart. I love your perspective on life and your youthful heart. Jessica! Believe me I know the feeling of the oops. And I certainly did give her the poem. And thanks for such a generous response. I hope you're loving this place. I need to find your writing. Peace. Ruthie, Thank you sweet lady. And I have. Life is good. Lee J, You dear lady have such a wonderful spirit. How kind of you. Thanks. If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, |

JamesMichael, Thank you sir. Dominique-Simone, Thanks so much. MartyJo, I mean mom, I'm so sorry I missed you. But you must have moved since last we were together! P.S. Somebody asked me the difference between a hoover and a Harley. They said it was the placement of the dirt bag! Steven S, Thanks. So true... so true. Linda, How delightful to find you reading my stuff. And thank you dear lady. I hope all is well. If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, |
